92  Centenary  of  Pharmaceutical  Education.  {^^J^'y^im^' 
He  contributed  a  number  of  the  articles  to  the  first  edition  of 
the  United  States  Dispensatory,  and  it  was  the  intent  of  the  authors, 
Drs.  Wood  and  Bache,  that  he  should  prepare  the  pharmaceutical 
portion,  but  his  removal  to  Haverford  at  this  time  rendered  such 
a  program  impractical,  Dr.  George  B.  Wood  publicly  recorded  his 
tribute  to  Mr.  Smith's  attainments  in  science  and  literature,  as  well 
as  his  appreciation  of  the  services  he  had  rendered  in  behalf  of 
pharmacy. 
In  1828,  William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  who  had  learned  the  apothecary 
business  in  the  store  of  Jacob  Bell  in  London,  became  associated 
with  Daniel  B.  Smith,  and  the  firm  of  Smith  &  Hodgson  continued 
to  extend  their  manufacturing  and  wholesale  drug  business.  A 
four-story  building  temporarily  met  the  demands  for  increased 
room  for  manufacturing  purposes,  and  subsequently  this  firm  de- 
cided to  engage  exclusively  in  manufacturing  at  their  new  labora- 
tory that  they  had  erected  on  Grays  Ferry  Road,  and  in  1849  dis- 
posed of  their  drug  business  to  two  of  their  apprentices,  Charles 
Bullock  and  Edmund  A.  Crenshaw. 
Daniel  B.  Smith  took  an  active  interest  in  the  notable  discov- 
eries in  physics  and  chemistry,  and  repeated  many  of  the  published 
experiments.  He  became  a  member  of  the  Franklin  Institute  soon 
after  its  organization  in  1824.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
American  Philosophical  Society  in  1829,  and  was  also  a  member  of 
the  Academy  of  Natural  Science.  He  was  one  of  the  inaugurators 
of  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  and  that  society's  first 
Corresponding  Secretary.  He  was  one  of  the  incorporators  of 
the  Philadelphia  Savings  Fund,  and  also  of  the  institution  known 
as  the  House  of  Refuge. 
While  science  and  philanthropy  claimed  much  of  his  time, 
achievements  in  the  field  of  general  literature  were  equally  attractive. 
In  1834  he  accepted  the  chair  of  Moral  Philosophy,  English  Litera- 
ture and  Chemistry  in  Haverford  School  (now  Haverford  College), 
and  removed  to  Haverford.  During  his  twelve  years'  residence 
here,  he  wrote  "The  Principles  of  Chemistry,"  a  text  book  that  went 
through  two  revisions.  His  lectures  on  "Ethics  and  the  Lives  and 
Doctrines  of  the  Early  Members  of  the  Society  of  Friends"  are 
spoken  of  as  literary  productions  of  great  merit. 
In  1846  he  resigned  from  Haverford  College,  that  he  might 
give  his  attention  to  his  increased  drug  business.
