I am happy to bear testimony to the character of Mr. Smith as a man, and to find him so highly respected as an artist.

I have long known Mr. Smith to be an ingenious artist, an able instructor, and a benevolent and honest man.

I have known Mr. Smith many years, and believe him very capable of filling the office of drawing-master to Christ’s Hospital with credit to himself and advantage to the charity.

Providence, which placed me next door to Mr. J. T. Smith for several years, made me intimately acquainted with a faithful husband, an affectionate father, and an honest man.
