The General Biographical Dictionary is a bestselling book compiled by British author Alexander Chalmers.
The book was largely inspired by another book of the same name by a British author, the General Biographical Dictionary of Alexander Chalmers.
Some of his manuscript lives were used by Alexander Chalmers in his ‘Biographical Dictionary.’ James Granger obtained his aid in his portrait-dictionary, he assisted John Nichols in the Gentleman's Magazine and in other undertakings, and he contributed to Archæologia.
Hugh Kelly, an Irish dramatist and poet, also held the post before his death in 1777, while Alexander Chalmers did so some time after 1777.
