Transcribed from the 3 August 1847 edition of The Armagh Guardian newspaper:

The Cheltenham Examiner suggests that all the Smiths in the kingdom,
estimated at a million, should subscribe one penny each to a testimonial

See Heyer, "The Spanish Bride" for an account of his early career
(written as a novel, but making extensive use of diaries).
