The subtitle of this eight-volume set is Consisting of Authentic
Memoirs and Original Letters of Eminent Persons, and Intended as a
Sequel to the 'Literary Anecdotes', which had been published in
nine volumes by the author, editor and publisher John Nichols
(1745-1826) between 1812 and 1815, and are also reissued in this
series. Like its predecessor set, these 'illustrations' are a
useful source of biographical material on authors and publishers at
a time when many of the literary genres we take for granted, such
as the novel, the autobiography and the analytical history, were
first being developed. The volumes were published between 1817 and
1858, the project being continued after Nichols' death by his son
and grandson. Among the 'eminent persons' included in Volume 6 are
the poet Anna Seward, Dr Johnson, the bibliographer Thomas Dibdin,
and King George III.
