Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, Vol. 3: For the Year 1819 Those feelingly alive to the suggestions of benevolence may not be displeased with the zealous attempts of the late Sir Thomas Bernard to meliorate the condition of the poor; and the successful enterprise of Dr. Cogan to found and endow the Royal Humane Society, cannot fail to meet with due approbation and applause. Of the learned Dr. Burney, if not a very copious, yet a very correct account will be here found; while the laborious and technical investigations of that old and indefatigable servant of the public, the late Right Honourable George Rose, (rewarded, as he certainly was, to the full extent of his merits, ) will be discovered on one occasion, to have saved millions to his country. The sudden and melancholy death of Sir Samuel Romilly contributed to cast a gloom over society, and actually operated for a while like a great national calamity. A gentleman not wholly unacquainted with that great and original character, has attempted memoir somewhat after the manner of the French Eloge. The minuter facts are chiefly contained in the notes; and there is no occasion to offer any pledge as to the authenticity of the materials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, Vol. 12: For the Year 1828 To the thoughtful observer, the history of the mind of a man of genius and learning can never be destitute of attraction or utility. The whole process by which his faculties have been cultivated and his knowledge has been built up, is in itself well deserving of attention; and if the generous ambition of excellence be apparent throughout as the guiding principle of action, a still higher character will be imparted to the study. Charles Mills was born at Croom's Hill, Greenwich, on the 29th of July, 1788. His family had been long and respectably known in that place, where his grandfather and father had successively exercised the profession of surgeons for nearly half a century, in the enjoyment of the first practice afforded by an opulent vicinity. His father, Samuel Gillam Mills, was not more esteemed for professional ability than for his private qualities of mind and heart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, 1892, Vol. 10 For the kind manner in which the last volume of the Annual Biography and Obituary was spoken of, in several critical publications, the Editor is also grateful. With regard to certain strictures on the same volume in the Gentleman's Magazine, their tone and language might well justify him in abstaining from all notice of them. But he has too much respect for the opinion of the world, he has too much respect even for the' publication in which those strictures appeared, to be wholly silent; although he will endeavour to comprize what he has to say in a very small compass.

Sir Richard afterwards carried General Meadows to his government at Bombay; and during his continuance in the East Indies, distinguished him self on several occasions in supporting the British commercial rights, which would otherwise have been injured by interlopers under neutral colours, countenanced by some French frigates, as well as by the Governors of the garrisons belonging to that nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, 1832, Vol. 16 In the spring of 1807, Captain Hallowell was occupied in commanding the naval part of the expedition sent from Messina, to take possession of Alexandria; and Mr. Spencer was employed in all the boat services which took place; and at both the unsuccessful attacks on Rosetta, under the immediate orders of Captain (now Vice-Admiral) Fellowes. For the next two years the Tigre was principally employed in watching the port of Toulon; and at the capture and destruction of the French convoy in the bay of Rosas, November 1. 1809, Mr. Spencer was employed in the Tigre's launch, under Lieutenant Edward Boxer, the senior officer, and leader of the starboard line of boats. The crew of the launch were among the first who, hauling up on the in-shore side of la Lamproie, penetrated under the boarding nettings, which the French had neglected to lace down, doubtless supposing that the fire from the beach would have deterred any attempt to board on that side. Mr. Spencer's commission as lieutenant bore date December 13, 1810: he removed with Rear-Admiral Hallowell to the Malta, 84; and continued to serve in that ship until he received an order to take charge of the Pelorus brig, in October, 1812. He was promoted to the rank of Commander January 22.1813; and appointed first to the Kite brig, of sixteen guns, and soon after to the sloop Espoir of eighteen, which, joining Sir Edward Pellew's fleet, was selected by that officer to form a part of Captain Usher's squadron employed off the French coast, in the neighbourhood of Marseilles. That little squadron was in a state of unceasing activity, few days passing in which it was not engaged with the enemy. One of the most remarkable of its services was one suggested by Captain Spencer - the destruction of the batteries at Cassis, a small sea-port between Marseilles and Toqlon.
