SMITH, Horatio (1779-1849: ODNB)

Familiarly known as "Horace," he was the fifth of eight children born in London to Protestant dissenters, Mary (Bogle) Smith and Robert Smith, a lawyer; like his brothers he was well educated but did not attend university. He went from being a clerk in a counting house to partner in an insurance business, then became a stock broker.

The collection of parodies of prominent contemporary poets entitled
