of Sciences at Paris, the Imperial Academy ‘Naturæ Curiosorum,’ and the academies of Stockholm, Upsal, Turin, Lisbon, Philadelphia, and New York. His name was commemorated by Dryander and Salisbury in Aiton's ‘Hortus Kewensis’ by the genus Smithia, a small group of sensitive leguminous plants. His library and collections, including those of Linnæus, were offered by his executors to the Linnean Society for 4,000l., and ultimately bought by private subscription for 3,000l., and presented to the society.
There is a bust of Smith by Chantrey at the Linnean Society's apartments, an engraving from which forms the frontispiece of the ‘Memoir;’ another engraving, by Audinet, appeared in the ‘Gentleman's Magazine’ for 1828, and was reissued with the date 1831 in Nichols's ‘Literary Illustrations,’ vol. vi., and there is a folio engraving in Thornton's ‘Temple of Flora.’
Smith was the author of several hymns in the collection used in the Octagon Chapel, Norwich, of which he was a deacon at the time of his death. He contributed a paper ‘On the Irritability of Vegetables’ (to the ‘Philosophical Transactions’); ‘De Filicum generibus’ (to the ‘Memoirs of the Turin Academy,’ 1790–1, pp. 401–22); fifty-two papers to the ‘Transactions of the Linnean Society,’ vols. i.–xiii., and a slight memoir of John Ray [q. v.] to Derham's ‘Memorials’ of Ray in 1846.
