He was a devoted and enlightened physician, but his name is familiar to general readers as that of the author of Rab and his Friends, a sketch of animal character and America. His literary and social qualities brought which attained a wide popularity both in Great Britain him into intimacy with many celebrities, including JefLocke and Sydenham, with other Occasional Papers, frey, Thackeray, and Ruskin. Edin., 1858; 5th ed., 1885.

1. Horæ Subsecivæ :

"It is observable that the whole of the first volume of 'Hora Subsecivæ'-perhaps, though not the most popular, yet the most substantially valuable of the whole seriesis almost exclusively devoted to subjects intimately bearing on the practice of medicine."-Dict. of Nat. Biog., vii.

"It is not often that a second series of anything is successful; and Dr. Brown's second series of his Horæ Sub

secivæ' is so little an exception to the rule, that the volume would not call for any notice were it not that it happens to contain, among other miscellaneous essays, a sketch of the life and character of the author's father."-Sat. Rev., xi. 588.

"Dr. Brown's papers on Leech and Thackeray, excellent as they are, full of appreciation and information, are less

rich and rare than some of his studies of Scotch character and of Scotch family history and romance."-Sat. Rev., liii. 273.

"One very obvious characteristic of these papers is their appearance of ease and spontaneity."-Acad., xxi. 169.

The author of 'Rab and his Friends' has a place apart among contemporary essayists. His manner and his matter are alike peculiar to himself. They remind one very charmingly of other times and other ways than our own, and yet of our own as well. They are modern, and yet they are of the old school. They stand midway between the intense and very careful present and a vigorous and somewhat reckless past, and they are touched with some of the characteristics of both."-Ath., No. 2840.

"We do not shrink from saying that Mr. Brown is the first who has given the world a complete biography of the man... If it adds little to our knowledge of Bunyan himself, it enables us to realize more thoroughly than before the village where he was born; the town where, either as prisoner or free man, he spent the greater part of his life; the congregation of which he was first member and then minister,-an office in which Mr. Brown succeeds him; the people who were his neighbours and associates; the troubled times, full of the throes of intestine strife, civil and religious, in which he lived."-Sat. Rev., 1xii. 63. "He has produced the most elaborate and exhaustive account of Bunyan hitherto published, and has, indeed, left no room for a successor.... One point Mr. Brown makes, and pretty clearly, that has escaped former biographers, namely, that Bunyan did not write his principal allegory during his twelve years' imprisonment. but during a later and comparatively short imprisonment of six months."Spectator, lix. 49.

Brown, Oliver Maddox-, 1855-1874, b, at Finchley, Eng., son of Ford Maddox-Brown, a distinguished painter, gave promise during his brief life of remarkable excellence both as an artist and an author. Several of his water-colors, painted at the age of fourteen to seventeen, were exhibited in public galleries in London, and some poems written at the same period have been considered still more striking evidence of a precocious genius. His only publication during his lifetime was a story written when he was sixteen, which was included with other productions in a volume published after his death. For biog., see INGRAM, J. H., infra. 1. Gabriel Denver, Lon., 1873, 12mo. (The plot of this story was altered in accordance with suggestions of the publishers, but it appears in its original form, under the title of The Black Swan, in the Remains.)

"It abounds in crudities and extravagance; it frequently passes the narrow limits which divide the sublime from the ridiculous; in short, it has all the distinctive marks of the first production of a clever young man.”—Sat. Rev., Xxxvii. 660.
