Signed "Horatio Smith." Discusses two satirical articles he wrote that Colburn may want for the New Monthly Magazine.
Smith was an English parodist. He and his brother James wrote the famous "Rejected Addresses" (1812) which burlesqued such contemporary poets as Wordsworth, Scott, Coleridge, and Byron. Colburn was a British publisher who, in 1814, originated the New Monthly Magazine.
