Sydney Smith by his contemporaries
Lord Cockburn: Was there ever more sense combined with more hilarious jocularity?
Hon.Henry Edward Fox: Nothing could exceed Sydney’s wit and liveliness; he made Blanco ill from laughing
Lord John Russell: He drew such a ludicrous caricature… that Sir James Mackintosh rolled on the floor in fits of laughter
Thomas Moore: Sydney beyond anything amusing – Left Lord John’s with Sydney and Luttrell, and when we got to Cockspur Street (having laughed all the way) we were all three seized with such convulsions of cachinnation at something (I forget what) which Sydney said, that we were obliged to separate, and reel each his own way with the fit.
