James taking See also:Wordsworth, See also:Southey, See also:Coleridge and See also:Crabbe, while See also:Byron, See also:Moore, See also:Scott and See also:Bowles were assigned to Horace.' Seven See also:editions were called for within three months
.
The Rejected Addresses are the most widely popular parodies ever published in See also:England, and take classical See also:rank in literature
.
The brothers fairly divided the honours: the See also:elder See also:brother's Wordsworth is evenly balanced by the younger's Scott, and both had a See also:hand in Byron
.
A striking feature is the See also:absence of malice; none of the poets caricatured took offence, while' the See also:imitation is so See also:clever that both Byron and Scott are recorded to have said that they could hardly believe they had not written the addresses ascribed to them
.
The only other undertaking of the two brothers was Horace in London (1813)
.
James Smith made another See also:hit in See also:writing See also:Country See also:Cousins, A Trip to See also:Paris, A Trip to See also:America, and other lively skits for See also:Charles See also:Mathews who said he was " the only See also:man who can write clever' nonsense." His social reputation as a wit stood high
.
He was reputed one of the best of talkers in an See also:age when the See also:art was studied, and it was remarked that he held his own without falling into the See also:great See also:error of wits
See also:sarcasm
.
But in his old age the irreverent See also:Fraser's put him in its See also:gallery of living portraits as a gouty and elderly but pains-taking joker
.
He died in London on the 24th of December 1839

After making a See also:fortune as a stockbroker, Horace Smith followed in the See also:wake of Scott and wrote about a See also:score of See also:historical novels —Brambletye See also:House (1826), Tor See also:- HILL

His sketches of See also:eccentric See also:character are brilliant and amusing; but he was more of an essayist than a See also:story-See also:teller
.
Three volumes of Gaieties and Gravities, published by him in 1826, contain many witty essays both in See also:prose and in See also:verse, but the only single piece that has taken a permanent See also:place is the " Address to the See also:Mummy in See also:Belzoni's See also:Exhibition." In private See also:life Horace Smith was not less popular than his brother, though less ambitious as a talker
.
It was of him that See also:Shelley said: " Is it not See also:odd that the only truly generous See also:person I ever knew who had See also:money enough to be generous with should be a stock-See also:broker
?
He writes See also:poetry and See also:pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money, and does make it, and is still generous." Horace Smith died at Tunbridge See also:Wells on 12th See also:July 1849
