   Extractions: Fallacies Of Anti-Reformers, 1824 Introductory Note Sydney Smith (1771-1845) was an English clergyman noted as the wittiest man of his time. He was educated at Winchester and Oxford, and in 1798 went to Edinburgh as tutor to the son of an English gentleman. While there he proposed the founding of the "Edinburgh Review," and with Jeffrey, Brougham, and Francis Horner shared in its actual establishment. He superintended the first three numbers, and continued to write for it for twenty-five years. On leaving Edinburgh he lectured in London, held livings in Yorkshire and Somersetshire, was made prebendary of Bristol and Canon of St. Paul's. The review of Bentham's "Book of Fallacies" exhibits at once the method of the Edinburgh Reviewers, Smith's vigorous, pointed, and witty style, and the general trend of his political opinions. He was a stanch Whig, and in such issues as that of Catholic Emancipation he fought for liberal opinions at the cost of injury to his personal prospects. As a clergyman he was kindly and philanthropic, a good preacher, and a hater of mysticism. No political writing of his time was more telling than his on the side of toleration and reform; and his wit, while spontaneous and exuberant, was employed in the service of good sense and with careful consideration for the feelings of others. If he lacks the terrific power of Swift, he lacks also his bitterness and savagery; his honesty and sincerity were no less, and his personality was as winning as it was amusing.

    Extractions: SYDNEY SMITH: CRITIC OF INDIAN MISSIONS In the February 1808 issue of the Edinburgh Review , the Reverend Sydney Smith contributed to the emergent debate over the Christianization of India. That debate had been prompted by the decision of evangelicals, including prominent members of the Church of England, to encourage relaxation of East India Company regulations limiting missionary activity on the Indian sub-continent. Smith (1771-1845), a clergyman of the Church of England, was suited to the formation of polite opinion. Known as a wit and as co-founder of the Edinburgh Review , he later became an eloquent proponent of Catholic Emancipation (affording civil liberties to Catholics). Ironies in Smith's essay on "Indian Missions" derive from an implied comparison between the published words of the missionaries and the principles of Smith's "rational" Christianity. Smith drew extensively from the Periodical Accounts of the Baptist Missionary Society , offering quotations designed to exemplify the departure from reason that he took to be typical of Indian missionary sojourns. Smith, who wrote during the Napoleonic Wars in the aftermath of the Vellore Mutiny of 1806, appealed to Britons' concerns regarding the menace of French power and the precarious loyalty of Indians. Smith's references to Baptist missionaries as "Anabaptists," however, reveal that something more than a playful irony was at work here: Smith had invoked the rhetoric of the Protestant Reformation, delivered a stinging social slur, and underscored his own anxiety to distance himself from radicalism.
