Banks, Bishop Goodenough, and others, founded the Linnæan Society, of which he was elected the first president; in 1792 was employed to teach botany to Queen Charlotte and the princesses; in 1796 was married to Miss Reeve, and in 1797 removed to Norwich, where, with the exception of an annual two months' visit to London, devoted to lectures on botany atmology. the Royal Institution, he resided until his death; knighted by the Prince Regent, 1814; unsuccessful candidate for the chair of botany at Cambridge, (being objected to as a Unitarian Dissenter,) 1818; d. at his house in Surrey Street, Norwich, March 17, 1828. death he was one of the deacons of the religious congreAt the time of his gation to which he was attached; and he composed several of the poetical pieces contained in a volume of Hymns of Public Worship, selected for the Use of the Congregation assembling at the Octagon Chapel, Norwich, (1826.) In all the relations of life he was most estimable; and, as a leader in the particular branch of research which he did so much to illustrate and expand, "it was his constant, earnest desire to banish jealousy and rivalship from the pursuits of science, and to cultivate a union and good understanding between the botanists of all nations.. He found the science of botany, when he approached it, locked up in a dead language; he set it free, by transfusing into it his own. He found it a severe study, fitted only for the recluse; he left it of easy acquisition to all. In the hands of his prede cessors, with the exception of his immortal master, it was dry, technical, and scholastic; in his, it was adorned with grace and elegance, and might attract the poet as well as the philosopher."-Life of Sir J.

Silver-Tongue Henry had more eloquence, Cambridge John more divinity, Greek Thomas more learning. Adam and James Edward more science, and Sydney more wit; but neither of these, nor all of these, enjoy the renown which attaches to the traveller, soldier, sailor, legislator, and ruler, who was equally at home in Turkey and America, alike pre-eminent in the palaces of princes and the huts of savages. And, whilst his fame is thus worldwide, to the grateful veneration of the children of the New World he has a peculiar claim: in the words of an eloquent American biographer, "Wherever upon this continent the English language is spoken, his deeds should be recounted and his memory hallowed. His services should not only be not forgotten, but should be freshly remembered.' His name should not only be honored by the silent canvas and the cold marble, but his praises should dwell living upon the lips of men, and should be handed down To this volume, the authorities cited below, and Smith's own graphic narrations, we must refer the reader for the details of his "stirring and romantic life and adventures,' whilst we proceed to notice him in a capacity not included in the roll of titles of honour which we have already rehearsed.

A large part of the General Historie appeared in Purchas's Pilgrimes, vol. iv., 1625; and the whole will be found in Pinkerton's Collection, vol. xiii., 1813. It was republished, together with his True Travels, (No. 8, infra,) in 2 vols. Svo, Richmond, Va., in 1819.

"His body was deposited in Sepulchre's Church choir, on the south side thereof," with a rather florid epitaph, of which the following are the first and last lines: "Here lies one conquer'd that hath conquer'd kings! Oh, may his soul in sweet Elysium sleep!" The verses, some by men of mark, which accompany his General Historie and others of his works, are highly eulogistic of his private character and public deeds. Edward Robinson addresses him as "Thou that to passe the world's four parts dost deeme No more than 'twere to go to bed or drinke;" and Thomas Carlton relieves us of the fear that he was wont, soldier and sailor like, to "drinke" too easily, by the assertion, "I never knew a Warryer yet, but thee, From wine, tobacco, debts, dice, oaths, so free."

Smith, John, the most eminent divine of both his names, and generally known to scholars as "John Smith of Cambridge," was b. at Achurch, near Oundle, Northamptonshire, 1618; entered at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, 1636; Fellow of Queen's College, 1644; became a tutor and read a mathematical lecture for some years in the public schools; d. August 7, 1652. In the sermon at his funeral by a distinguished Fellow of Queen's College, (see PATRICK, SYMON, D.D., No. 1,) he is represented as a man of great abilities, vast learning, and possessing also every grace and virtue which can improve and adorn human nature." He published nothing; but after his death appeared his famous (9) Select Discourses; with his Life, Death, and Funeral Sermon, by Symon Patrick, (and Preface by John Worthington, D.D.,) Lon., 1660, 4to; 2d ed., Camb., 1673, 4to; 3d ed., (reprinted at the suggestion of Bishop Jebb,) with his Life, by Sir David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes, Lon., 1821, 8vo; 4th ed., with Patrick's Sermon, corrected and revised by Henry Griffin Williams, Camb., 1859, 8vo.

The quotations are translated. Another abridgment, with a Brief Memoir of the author by the Rev. John King, was pub. Lon., 1820, 12mo. The Discourse on The Excellency and Nobleness of True Religion, omitting the quotations from the Greeks, Romans, and Rabbis, was repub. in 1864.

"I never got so ninch good among all my books by a whole day's plodding in a study, as by an hour's discourse I have got with him. For he was not a library locked up, nor a book clasped, but stood open for any to converse withal that had a mind to learn. Yea, he was a fountain running over, labouring to do good to those who perhaps had no mind to receive it. None more free and communicative than he was to such as desired to discourse with him; nor would he grudge to be taken off from his studies upon such an occasion. It may be truly said of him., that a man might always come better from him; and his mouth could drop sentences as easily as an ordinary man's could speake sense."-BISHOP PATRICK: Funeral Sermon on John Smith, "A writer of great erudition and strength of mind."-SOUTHEY.
