Synopsis
Excerpt from James and Horace Smith: A Family Narrative Based Upon Hitherto Unpublished Private Diaries, Letters, and Other Documents
Very many Smithian footprints on the sands of time are somewhat faint, but those of James and Horace Smith have left a deep and lasting impres sion. The brothers' chief work, Rejected Addresses, is, in its way, a classic, declared by so high an authority as Lord Jeffrey to indicate a talent to which he did not know where to look for a parallel.
