Finding no lucritive settled position, he finally studied midwifery under Gregoire and Dusse of Paris, and proceeded to the degree of M.D. at Leyden. On returning to London he had a decent practice, and and also attended, and took down in shorthand, the lectures of Sir Richard Manningham. Meanwhile the Calvinistic baptist board accused him of unitarianism, and issued a minute against him. He defended himself in three `Letters' 1734-1736, and other works. The board, which met at Blackwell's Coffee House, Queen Street, disowned him on 26 Feb. 1735. He then preached for two years at a church built for him in Snow's Fields by Mrs. Ginn. After her death in 1738 he conformed to the established church, and was presented by Archbishop Potter to the living of Walmer, Kent, and in 1752 to the vicarage of Westwell in the same county. He then lived near Deal, and kept a school there. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! RELIGION BX 7

Sidney Smith (1771-1845) was one of the foremost English preachers of his da y; a champion of parliamentary reform; staunch advocate of Roman Catholic emancipation; and a figure famous for his intelligence, wit, and charm. After leaving Oxford he was ordained in the Church of England. He later attended lectures in moral philosophy, chemistry, and medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he made many friends and helped to found 'The Edinburgh Review' (1802). For over twenty-five years he was a leading contributor to that important journal. In 1803 he moved to London and began a series of enormously popular lectures in moral philosophy. When the predominantly Whig ministry took office in 1806, Smith received the living of Foston-le-Clay, Yorkshire. At first he discharged his duties through a curate, until the Clergy Residence Act put an end to this common pract ice, and he left London for Yorkshire in 1809. Although he hated being isolated in Yorkshire, he won his parishioners' affection; and he continued to write effective polemics (especially on the Roman Catholic question). In 1828 he was installed as prebend of Bristol Cathedral. Under a Whig government it was expected that he would soon be a bishop; but opposition proved strong. Eventually, he succe eded in becoming a canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. On his brother Courtenay's death in 1839, Smith inherited a fortune, bought a house in London, and lived there until his own death. Scarce f irst American edition the 'standard' life of Smith.
