" PRINCE Of PUBLISHERS"
DEATH CLAIMS A NOTED ENGLISH
LITERARY MAN.
Passing of George Murray Smith, the
Man Who Discovered Charlotte
Bronte and Founder Of the Cornhin.

LONDON, April S.-The death OF
George Murray Smith, the well-known
English publisher was announced here
today. lie was a member of the firm
Of Smith, Elder d Co., and published
some of the first editions of the works
of ThaCkeray. He founded the Corn
hill Magazine in 1860.
Early in the present century George
Smith, the elder, associated himself in
the publishing business in London with
Alexander Elder, likewise carrying on
an agency and export business with
India and other parts of the world. In
1916 Mr.. Smith died, and soon after
Mr.. Elder retired, leaving the respon-
sibilities of the business to George
Murray Smith who was then little over
20 years of age. Mr.. Smith extended
the business in all directions and to
all parts of the known world. He had
a staff of some 200 clerks in London,
established a firm at Bombay, bank
ing business in Pall Mall, started the
Overland Mail and Homeward Mail
both of which are still hourishing con-
Germs, the one taking news out to In
da and the other bringing news back.
For years he carried on an enormous
business, but in 1868 he retired, retain
ing only the publishing business.
The Cornhill Magazine was started
by Mr. Smith i'm 1860, with Thackeray
as it's first editor. The appearance of
the Cornhill was one of the sensations
i'm the history of publishing ventures,
and over 10000 copies of the first num-
Der were sold. During the first twenty
years of the Cornhills life the proprie-
tor paid out $4,000 for the editorship
and literature. The second of Mr..
Smiths ventures was the Pail Mall Ga
zette and the third the Dictionary OF
National Biography
George Smiths long career as pub
Usher brought him into more than
mere business contact with some of the
greatest authors of the last half-cen-
tury. Thackeray, Browning, Charlotte
Bronte, Matthew Arnold, Anthony Troll
lope, Mrs Gaskell, Leigh Hunt, George
Eliot, to mention only those who have
passed away, We're all his intimate per-
sonal friends. Mr.. Smiths beautiful
house in Park lane is full of mementos
of these and other distinguished au-
thors. The entire manuscript OF
Browning's Ring and the Book was
presented by the author to his friend
Mrs. George Smith. There is also the
complete manuscript of Jane Eyre,
which Mr.. Smith brought home with
him one Saturday night, and was so
fascinated with the story that he was
unable to drop it until he had got to
the end. Hundreds of other testimo-
mails have been given to the man whom
Charles Reade dubbed the prince of
publishers"
All lovers of literary "Reminiscences
will be grieved to hear of George
Smiths death for this cuts short the
delightful memoirs which he was print
ing in the Cornhill, and which the
Critic of New York published stimuli
taneously in this country. Several in
