This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Smith's life up to 1812 remains poorly documented. He was born at Martock, Somerset, on the 21st of December 1788, into a Baptist family, his parents being William Smith and Caroline Southwood.
In 1802 he was sent to the Baptist Academy in Bristol; but he left and broke with his family. Smith entered the University of Edinburgh in October 1812. In 1816 he took his M. D. degree.
While a medical student in Edinburgh he took charge of a Unitarian congregation. In 1816 he took his M. D. degree, and began to practice at Yeovil, Somerset, also becoming minister at a chapel in that town, but removed in 1820 to London, devoting himself principally to medicine. In 1824 he was appointed physician to the London Fever Hospital, and in 1830 published A Treatise on Fever, which was at once accepted as a standard authority on the subject. In this book he established the direct connexion between the impoverishment of the poor and epidemic fever. He was frequently consulted in fever epidemics and on sanitary matters by public authorities, and his reports on quarantine (1845), cholera (1850), yellow fever (1852), and on the results of sanitary improvement (1854) were of international importance. He died at Florence on the 10th of December 1861.

Miranda and Octavia Hill were his granddaughters, among the five daughters of Caroline (b. 1809) who married James Hill in 1835, and as Caroline Southwood Hill was known as a writer and educationalist. His other daughter was Emily (b. 1810).
Smith had separated from his second wife by the end of the 1830s, and then lived for the rest of his life with the artist Margaret Gillies.
