The Life and Times of Sir George Grey, K.C.B.

{Note A.—See pages 32 to 45.) — Frederick Smyt H

{Note A.—See pages 32 to 45.)
Frederick Smyt H.

In the account of Grey's second exploration in Australia, there are two or three brief allusions to the brave lad who found a grave in the wilderness. Since that account has been in print, Sir George Grey has expressed to the writers his earnest desire that a more definite tribute should be paid to the memory of one who may be regarded as having met the death of a martyr in the cause of science and discovery, led on by personal friendship and affection for Sir George himself. Frederick Smyth came of a very good old English family. His grandfather and uncle successively represented Norwich in the House of Commons for many years. The likeness here produced is from a picture taken by Richmond, a copy of which is in Sir George Grey's possession.
