📘 Excerpt from Wit and Wisdom of the Rev. Sydney Smith: Being Selections From His Writings and Passages of His Letters and Table-Talk, With a Biographical Memoir and Notes
Immediately after the death of Sydney Smith, the material for the Memoir was begun to be collected by his widow, who was about intrusting the work to the poet Moore, when his broken health defeated the plan. Mrs. Sydney then requested her friend Mrs. Sarah Austin, the accomplished German trans lator, to undertake the narrative and edit the Letters which had been brought together. Ill health limited Mrs. Austin's subsequent performance of the work to the Selection from the Correspondence which constitutes the second volume of the Memoirs.
