 William Rogers, A. M., Professor of English and Oratory, and

The Hon. Robert Morris, Esq., acting no doubt at the sugges- 

 tion of his brother-in-law, Bishop White — though he was quite 

 competent himself to estimate rightly the literary and ecclesiasti- 

 cal merits of Dr. Smith — opened and received subscriptions in 

 Congress. His subscription paper began thus: 



George Washington, 

 John Adams, 

 William Grayson, 

 Ph. Schuyler, 



William Patterson, 

 Robert Morris, 

 William Samuel Johnson, 

 Ralph Izard. 



George Read. 



Subscribers came in from every part of the country, indicating 

 how widely spread was Dr. Smith's fame as a pulpit orator. The 

 list from Maryland, in procuring which Mr. Justice Goldsborough 

 took much interest, was especially large, and with the names of 

 many persons in humble station, comprised the name of nearly 

 every gentleman of rank or education in the State. We give those 

 sent by Judge Goldsborough : 



Hon. Robert Hanson Harrison, Esq., Chief Justice, etc. 

 Hon. Alexander Contee Hanson, Esq., Chancellor. 

 Hon. Robert Goldsborough, one of the Judges. 

 Benjamin Fred. Aug. Ca;s. Dashiell, Esq., Worcester county.
