Excerpt from The Literary News, Vol. 2: A Monthig Journal of Current Citerature
The religious papers have been on the gut vim for this volume, and given it cordial words of welcome in advance. Prof. Smith was a New England man, though New York City was his home during the latter part of his life. His influence in the Presbyterian Church has extended all over the country. He represented the young and progressive element as opposed to the old conservative party headed by Dr. Hodge. Prof. Smith, although well known in New York, is, perhaps, even better known in Massachusetts, where he lived for many years. Not the least interesting part of this volume are his letters and journals. I am entertained by a letter written during his winter vacation, 1841, spent in Boston and Andover. In it he speaks of passing a couple of hours with Bancroft who sometimes gets very eloquent in talking. In the evening he took tea with Ripley.
