been well discussed by Mr. Palfrey. He laboriously tested Smith's Own account of his adventures in eastern Europe by comparison with independent authorities, and on the whole with a favorable result. He also pointed out that ten years later Smith stood high in the favor of Gorges and others connected with the colonization of New England. No impostor or mere adventurer, however plausible, could have held the position that Smith did and retained the good opinion of competent judges.
One odd, though natural, mistake occurs in Mr. Palfrey's account of Smith. He says that Smith found his way to Tattersall's, in London, drawn thither probably by his love of horses. The "Tattershall" of Smith's story was a place in Lincolnshire, the country-seat of the Earl of Lincoln. The better known "Tattersall's" did not come into being till Smith had been in his grave for more than a century.
