Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SMITH, WILLIAM HENRY (18081872) , English author, was born at Hammersmith, London, in 18o8. He was educated at Radley School, and in 1821 was sent to Glasgow University. In 1823 he entered a lawyer's office, in which he remained for five years. He was called to the bar, but had no practice. He contributed to the Literary
Gazette
  and to the
Athenaeum
 , under the name of " Wool-gatherer," attracting some attention by the delicacy and finish of his style. Ernesto, a philosophical romance, appeared in 1835, two poems, Guidone and Solitude, in 1836, and in 1839 he formed a connexion with Blackwood's Magazine, for which he acted as philosophical critic for thirty years. In '846 a visit to Italy led to the writing of a tale entitled Mildred, which was too purely reflective to be successful. In 1851 he declined the chair of moral philosophy at Edinburgh, being unwilling to abandon his quiet, studious life in the Lake
District
 . There he completed his philosophic romance Thorndale (1857), which was considered at the time to be a
work
  of real intellectual value. A similar production, Gravenhurst, appeared in '862; a second edition contained a memoir of the author by his wife.
Smith
  died at Brighton on 28th March '872. He also wrote two plays, one of which, Athelwold, was produced by Macready in '843. It was published with his other tragedy, Sir William
Crichton
 , in '846.
