Smith (Charlotte), 1749-1806 
This authoress, best known as a novelist and poetess, 
was the eldest daughter of Nicholas Turner of Stoke House, 
Surrey, and Bignor Park, Sussex, and was born in London 
May 4, 1749. She was married in 1765 to Benjamin Smith, 
the son of a West India merchant. Later she lived at Lys 
Farm, Hampshire, of which county her husband was at one 
time High Sheriff, but he having got into financial difficulties, 
his wife took up literature as a means of livelihood. In later 
life she lived at many places, finally removing to Tetford, 
near Farnham, in Surrey, where she died October 28, 1806. 
She was burdened with twelve children (of whom eight sur- 
vived her), nevertheless she appears to have had a genuine 
love for Nature, and according to Miss Mitford had “ the 
eye and the mind of a landscape poet.” 
The undermentioned work relates principally to British 
birds. With the exception of the Red-and-blue Macaw in 
Vol. I., all the plates are of British birds, and there are 
numerous original observations interspersed.
