JAMES (1775–1839) , and See also:HORACE (1779–1849) authors of the Rejected Addresses, sons of a See also:London See also:solicitor, were See also:born; the former on loth See also:February 1775 and the latter on 31st See also:December 1779, both in London. The occasion of their happy jeu d'esprit was the rebuilding of See also:Drury See also:Lane See also:theatre in 1812, after a See also:fire in which' it had been burnt down. The managers had offered a See also:prize of £50 for an address to be recited at the re-opening in See also:October. Six See also:weeks before that date the happy thought occurred to the See also:brothers Smith of feigning that the most popular poets of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time had been among the competitors and issuing a See also:volume of unsuccessful addresses in See also:parody of their various styles. They divided the task between them, 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.
