 Part 2, completing Vol. 1 — 



" Although it is not our habit to notice any part of a new publication until the undertaking, if it consist of successive 

 volumes, is completed, we think it a duty not to jmss unnoticed the first step which the Society for the Diffusion of Useful 

 Knowledge has taken towards adequately supplying the want long felt in English literature, of a carefully-prepared Uni- 

 versal Biography ; because we consider this to be a work of paramount usefulness, and such as, in all probability, only an 

 extensive association could undertake. The design reflects the highest credit on those who direct the concerns of the body ; 

 and if it is completed, and in a style corresponding to the sample before us, it will carry the name of the undertakers with 

 merited honour to every quarter of the lettered world. That it will at any rate be completed, the fact of its being set on 

 foot by such a society, may be taken as a suffteient guarantee ; and this is a circumstance of the utmost importance to the 

 public." — Edinbuugh Review, No. 153
