He entered the See also:navy and served under See also:Keppel and See also:Rodney. In 1783 he became See also:lieutenant, and was discharged on See also:half-pay. He travelled on the See also:continent, made an unhappy See also:marriage in 1786, and again went to See also:sea. But he See also:felt that the military calling and See also:Christianity were incompatible and abandoned the former (1789). Further scruples as to the See also:oath required on the See also:receipt of his half-pay reduced him to serious pecuniary straits (1791), and he divided his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

king and the See also:parliament to that effect. In 1793 he declared himself the apostle of a new See also:religion, " the See also:nephew of the Almighty, and See also:prince of the See also:Hebrews, appointed to See also:lead them to the See also:land of See also:Canaan." At the end of 1794 he began to See also:print his interpretations of prophecy, his first See also:book being A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and Times. In consequence of prophesying the See also:death of the king and the end of the See also:monarchy, he was arrested for See also:treason in 1795, and confined as a criminal lunatic. His See also:case was, however, brought before parliament by his ardent See also:disciple, Nathaniel See also:Halhed, the orientalist, a member of the See also:House of See also:Commons, and he was removed to a private See also:asylum in See also:Islington. Here he wrote a variety of prophetic See also:pamphlets, which gained him many believers, amongst them See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Sharp, the engraver, who afterwards deserted him for See also:Joanna See also:Southcott. Brothers, how-ever, had announced that on the 19th of See also:November 1795 he was to be " revealed " as prince of the Hebrews and ruler of the See also:world; and when this date passed without any such manifestation, what See also:enthusiasm he had aroused rapidly dwindled, despite the fact that some of his earlier See also:political predictions (e.g. the violent death of See also:- LOUIS

He died in See also:London on the 25th of See also:January 1824, in the house of See also:John Einlayson, who had secured his See also:release, and who afterwards pestered the See also:government with an enormous claim for Brothers's See also:maintenance. The supporters of the Anglo-Israelite theory claim him as the first writer on their See also:side.
