BROWN, See also:JOHN (1810—1882) , Scottish physician and author, son of John Brown (1784-1858), was See also:born at See also:Biggar, See also:Scotland, on the 22nd of See also:September 181o. He graduated as•M.D. at the university of See also:Edinburgh in 1833, and practised as a physician in that See also:city. His reputation, however, is based on the two volumes of essays, Horae Subsecivae (i.e. "leisure See also:hours") (18.58, 1861), John See also:Leech and other Papers (1882), See also:Rab and His See also:Friends (1859), and Marjorie See also:Fleming: a See also:Sketch (1863). The first See also:volume of Horae Subsecivae deals chiefly with the equipment and duties of a physician, the second with subjects outside his profession. He was emphatic in his belief that an author should publish nothing "unless he has something to say, and has done his best to say it aright." Acting on this principle, he published little himself, and only after subjecting it to the severest See also:criticism. His See also:work is invariably characterized by See also:humour and tenderness. He suffered during the latter years of his See also:life from pronounced attacks of See also:melancholy, and died on the I1 th of May 1882.
