He returned to the East in 1676 to collect Greek manuscripts. In 1682, Smith went to Oxford with the hopes of becoming president of Magdalen College, however this was disrupted by James II’s religious policies. Smith went to London instead and became the unofficial librarian of the Cotton Library where he published the library’s first catalogue and worked without salary until 1702 the library passed into state control after the death of Cotton, leaving Smith without a job. He turned to publishing biographies of friends.
