Augustus Smith (politician)


Augustus John Smith (15 September 1804 – 31 July 1872) was governor of the Isles of Scilly for over thirty years, and was largely responsible for the economy of the islands as it is today.
==Biography==
Smith was born in 1804 "at the house of a fashionable accoucheur in Harley street" before returning to the family home of Ashlyns in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. Taking up his family's traditional trade of banking, he became known locally as a philanthropist, doing his best to improve educational standards in his home district, opening several non-denominational schools with his own money. In 1834 he acquired the lease on the Isles of Scilly from the Duchy of Cornwall for £20,000, and set about changing the islanders' way of life, expelling those who could not find a job locally and evacuating some of the smaller islands, where small populations were farming at barely subsistence level.
