Summary
  1. The James Smith manuscript material in the Pforzheimer Collection consists of writings and correspondence. The writings include: a holograph copy of Horace Smith's poem "Man"; holograph sonnets in immitation of Shakespeare ("Absence and presence, born of Elder Night" and "Thoul't still survive, when I to Time shall bow"); and a holograph "Epigram to Count D'Orsay." Four poetic pieces held by the Pforzheimer Collection were published in a posthumous collection edited by Horace Smith in 1840; these four and an additional five pieces were published by Alfred Morrison in 1895, while the remainder remain unpublished. The bulk of the correspondence is from the 1830's. Correspondents include: Lady Blessington, writer and literary hostess; Henry Colburn, publisher; Jane Porter, novelist; Horace Smith, writer and humorist (his brother) and over twenty others.
