See also:Young Brown was educated at St John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge; and after graduating at the See also:head of the See also:list of wranglers in 1735, he took See also:holy orders, and was appointed See also:minor See also:canon and lecturer at See also:Carlisle. In 1745 he distinguished himself in the See also:defence of Carlisle as a volunteer, and in 1747 was appointed See also:chaplain to Dr Osbaldiston, on his See also:admission to the bishopric of Carlisle. His poem, entitled " See also:Honour " (1743), was followed by the " See also:Essay on See also:Satire." This gained for him the friendship of See also:- WILLIAM

Mill (See also:Westminster See also:Review, vol. See also:xxix. p. 477). In 1756 he was promoted by the See also:earl of See also:Hardwicke to the living of See also:Great Horkesley in See also:Essex, and in the following year he took the degree of D.D. at Cambridge. He was the author of two plays, See also:Barbarossa (1754) and Athelstane (1756); See also:Garrick played in both, and the first was a success. The most popular of his See also:works was the Estimate of the See also:Manners and Principles of the Times (2 vols., 1757-1758), a See also:bitter satire which pleased a public depressed by the See also:ill-success in the conduct of the See also:war, and ready to welcome an attack on luxury and kindred evils. Other works are the Additional See also:Dialogue of the Dead between See also:Pericles and Cosmo .. . (176o), in vindication of See also:Chatham's policy; and the Dissertation on the Rise, See also:Union and See also:Power, &c., of See also:Poetry and See also:Music (1763). He was consulted in connexion with a See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme of See also:education which See also:Catherine II. of See also:Russia desired to introduce into her dominions. A memorandum on the subject by Dr Brown led to an offer on her See also:part to entertain him at St See also:Petersburg as her adviser on the subject. He had bought a postchaise and various other things for the See also:journey, when he was persuaded to relinquish the See also:design on See also:account of his See also:gout. He had been subject to fits of See also:melancholy, and, influenced perhaps by disappointment, he committed See also:suicide on the 23rd of See also:September 1766.
There is a detailed account of John Brown by See also:Andrew See also:Kippis in Biographia Britannica (1780), containing the See also:text of the negotiations for his journey to Russia, and of a See also:long See also:letter in which he outlines the principles of the scheme he would have proposed.
