Albert Richard Smith (May 24, 1816 - May 23, 1860) was an English author, entertainer, and mountaineer. He abandoned his medical work in favor of writing. Though a journalist rather than a literary figure, he was one of the most popular writers of his time, and a favorite humorist. He was a regular contributor to Richard Bentley's Miscellany, in whose pages his first and best book, the novel The Adventures of Mr Ledbury, appeared in 1842.
