ADVERTISEMENT TO THE TWENTY-SECOND EDITION. JAMES SMITH and HORACE SMITH, authors of the Rejected Addresses or, the New Theatrum Poetarum, were the sons of Robert Smith, solicitor to the Board of Ordnance, James was born at No. 36, Basinghall Street, London, on the 10th of February, 1775 and Horace in the same house on the 3 1st of December, 1779. James was educated under the-Rev. Mr. Burford at Chigwcllin Essex articled to his father on leaving school, subsequently taken into partnership with him, and eventually succeeded to his fathers business as well as his appointment of solicitor to the Ordnance, Horace received the same education as his brother, became a member of the Stock Exchange in London, acquired a fortune, and retired with his wife and family to Brighton, ADViUlTISKMENT. James, who lived and died single, was the author of several small copies of verses, since collected by his brother and Horace was the author of Brambletye House 7 a novel in three volumes, well received at the time of its publication. The work by which the brothers are best known, and by which they will long continue to be remem bered, is the Rejected Addresses. This delightful volume one of the luckiest hits in literature appeared on there-opening of DruryLane Theatre, in October, 1812 the idea, as Horace relates, having been casually started by the late Mr. Ward, secre tary to the theatre, exactly six weeks before the night when the opening Address was to be spoken. The hint thus thrown out was eagerly adopted. The brothers arranged what authors they should respectively imitate and James executed his por tion in London, and Horace the remainder at Cheltenham. James supplied the imitations of Wordsworth, Southey, Coleridge, Crabbe and Cobbett, and Nos. 14, 16, 18, 19, and 20. The Byron was a joint effusion James contributing the first stanza, and Horace the remainder. The Fitzgerald, the Sir Walter Scott, c., were by ADVERTISEMENT. Horace. The corrections which each supplied to the compositions of the other seldom exceeded verbal alterations or the addition of a few lines. The copyright, which had beenoriginally offered to Mr. Murray for 20, and refused without even looking at the MS., 1 was purchased by that gentle man in 1819, after the book had run through sixteen editions, for 131. James Smith died at his house, No. 27, Craven Street, Strand, on the 24th December, 1839, in the 65th year of his age and was buried in the vaults of the church of St. Martins in the Fields. Horace died at Tunbridge Wells, on the 12th of July, 1849, in the 70th year of his age, and was buried in the churchyard of Trinity Church, Tunbridge Wells. P. C. 1 See Note at p...
