Volume 6 (of 7)" by Arthur Thomas Malkin is a historical collection of biographical essays written in the early 19th century. This volume features a series of portraits and accompanying memoires of notable figures, including Sir Walter Raleigh and Edward Jenner, detailing their lives, achievements, and contributions to society. It serves as both a documentation of these historical personalities and an exploration of their significance in a broader context. The opening of the book begins with a list of portraits and biographies, starting with Sir Walter Raleigh, whose early life, military service, and adventurous spirit in exploration are highlighted. The narrative elaborates on his connections to notable figures and events of his time, depicting a man deeply engaged in the political and colonial enterprises of Elizabethan England. This segment transitions into Edward Jenner's biography, describing his early interest in natural history and medicine, leading to his groundbreaking work on vaccination against smallpox. The beginning of this volume sets the stage for an engaging exploration of these influential characters, framing their stories in a way that intertwines personal narrative with significant historical events.
