Smith began to edit a periodical entitled ''The Straggling Astrologer'' in 1824, but failed to receive enough subscribers and the periodical had to be discontinued after a few issues. He collected the issues of the failed periodical in a volume entitled ''The Astrologer Of The Nineteenth Century'' in the same year. The volume claimed to be the "sixth edition", but it is believed that editions one to five never existed.
