About John Thomas Smith:John Thomas Smith, also known as Antiquity Smith (1766-1833), was an English painter, engraver and antiquarian. He wrote a life of the sculptor Joseph Nollekens, that was noted for its "malicious candour", and was a keeper of prints for the British Museum.
A Book For A Rainy Day :My father informed me, that in the evening of the 23rd of June 1766, which must have been much about the time when Marylebone Gardens echoed the melodious notes of Tommy Lowe, and whilst there was The Devil to Pay at Richmond with Mr. and Mrs. Love, my mother, on returning from a visit to her brother, Mr. Edward Tarr, became so seriously indisposed, that she most strenuously requested him to allow her to return home in a hackney coach, whilst he went to Jermyn Street for Dr. Hunter. Upon that gentleman's arrival at my father's door, No. 7, in Great Portland Street, Marylebone, he assisted the nurse in conveying my mother and myself to her chamber.
