James Smith's most enduring monument is his great work, "The Voyage and Shipwreck of St. Paul, and Dissertation on the Life and Writings of St. Luke, and the Ships and Navigation of the Ancients," a book which has gone through many editions and has received an amount of unanimous approval, not only in this country but on the Continent of Europe and in the United States, which has rarely fallen to the lot of the work of any Biblical scholar. It is now thirty-six years since it was published, and it is still the recognized authority on the subjects of which it treats. From the very first its value was unhesitatingly acknowledged by the critics of the day. The "Edinburgh Review" said of it - "The book is full of solid proof and valuable suggestion, and we may safely say that a more valuable original contribution to Biblical knowledge has not been made by any countryman of ours during the present century." The "Quarterly," and other leading Reviews, not only in Great Britain but in America and Germany, wrote in the same strain. Dr. Whewell affirmed that no "finer piece of demonstrative writing has appeared since the time of Paley," and Professor Sedgewick, after his first perusal of it, wrote to Sir Charles Lyell - "It is one of the most remarkable critical works that ever was written . . . . It is as clear as crystal and as demonstrative as Euclid."
