It gives a pleasing sketch of his numerous travels and many most interesting notices of the distinguished persons he had met. As an autobiography it is unique.

1855FB853 (1 & 2) /5C<p>Tan leather binding with blue and red marbled boards. Red and black title plates with gilt lettering and banding. </p><p><strong>Sydney Smith</strong> 3 June 1771 – 22 February 1845 was an English wit writer and Anglican cleric. Smith's reputation among his contemporaries as a humourist and wit grew to such an extent that a number of the observations which are now attributed to him may be of doubtful provenance. Lord Houghton recorded that he never except once knew Smith to make a jest of any religious subject "and then he immediately withdrew his words and seemed ashamed that he had uttered them". To be set against that encomium is one of Smith's best-known lines to the effect that his friend Henry Luttrell's idea of heaven was eating <em>pâté de foie gras</em> to the sound of trumpets. No English writer's opinions on early American literature had more impact than Smith's. He referred to himself as a "sincere friend of America" but this sentiment is both supported and denied by his many publications. For instance American writer and critic John Neal dubbed his 1820 question in the <em>Edinburgh Review</em> "In the four-quarters of the globe who reads an American book" as "insolent" and said he would "furnish a pretty good answer" by traveling to England in 1823 where he became the first American published in any British literary journal. Long after his death he was often quoted in English literary life and was remembered by homemakers in the United States through his rhyming recipe for salad dressing. Jane Austen expert Margaret C. Sullivan speculates in an essay that the character Henry Tilney the romantic interest of the protagonist Catherine Morland in Jane Austen's <em>Northanger Abbey</em> 1803 may have been based on Smith. The memory and achievements of Smith are perpetuated by the Sydney Smith Association a registered charity which aims among other things to republish online as many of his writings as possible.</p> Longman Brown Green. hardcover
