Summary "Sydney Smith" by George William Erskine Russell is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book seeks to explore the life and contributions of Sydney Smith, a prominent English clergyman, essayist, and social reformer, renowned for his advocacy on issues of education and civil rights. It highlights Smith's perspectives on various societal matters, his humorous criticisms, and his enduring legacy in the realm of literature and politics. At the start of the book, the author introduces Smith's early life, including his family background, education, and formative years at Winchester College and Oxford University. The narrative provides insight into Smith's character, particularly his wit and criticism of the institutional education system. It sets the stage for understanding his later contributions, including his role in founding the "Edinburgh Review", and his famous "Peter Plymley's Letters", where he passionately argues for Catholic emancipation and critiques the unjust treatment of the Irish. Through engaging anecdotes and witty observations, Russell paints a vivid portrait of Sydney Smith, preparing the reader for a deeper exploration of his public life and works.
