Summary "The Gallery of Portraits: with Memoirs. Volume 7 (of 7)" by Arthur Thomas Malkin is a historical collection of biographies written in the early 19th century. This volume appears to be a detailed presentation of prominent historical figures through various lenses, including their contributions to society, culture, and politics. While the subjects covered include military leaders, artists, philosophers, and politicians, the opening sections prominently feature accounts of individuals like Gustavus Adolphus, a significant king of Sweden, emphasizing their achievements and historical contexts. The opening of this volume dives into the life of Gustavus Adolphus, sharing his rise to power and his critical role in both Swedish independence from Denmark and his influence during the Thirty Years’ War. Malkin introduces the king at a pivotal moment, exploring his formative experiences and military challenges. It lays out the characteristics that defined him: intellect, education, ambition, and a sense of duty to both his nation and religious principles. This detailed portrayal sets the tone for the subsequent biographies, illustrating how Malkin aims to bring historical figures to life through nuanced events and personal motivations that shaped their legacies.
