William Henry Smith (1825–1891)

William Henry Smith PC (24 June 1825 – 6 October 1891) was an English bookseller and newsagent of the family firm W H Smith, who expanded the firm and introduced the practice of selling books and newspapers at railway stations. He was elected a Member of Parliament in 1868 and rose to the position of First Lord of the Admiralty less than ten years thereafter. Because of his lack of naval experience, he was perceived as a model for the character Sir Joseph Porter in ''H.M.S. Pinafore''. In the mid-1880s, he was twice Secretary of State for War, and later First Lord of the Treasury and Leader of the House of Commons, among other posts.
==Background and business career==
Smith was born in London, the son of William Henry Smith (1792–1865). He was educated at Tavistock Grammar School before joining the business with his father in 1846, at which time the firm became W H Smith & Son. Smith and his father took advantage of the railway boom by opening newsstands on railway stations, starting with Euston in 1848.〔 In 1850 the firm opened depots in Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. The business became a household name (W H Smith), and Smith used the success of the firm as a springboard into politics.〔〔(History of WH Smith ), W H Smith plc, accessed 10 October 2012〕
He was elected in February 1878 a Fellow of the Royal Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Library and Archive Catalogue )
