An encapsulation of the life of Sydney Smith,Clergyman,Editor and Wit. Within the compass of this little book are to be found many of his bon mots,which are so amusing they will bring a smile to your face. I give you just one as an example - 'When urged by his doctor to take a daily walk on an empty stomach,asked "Whose?"' Great stuff.
