Encyclopedia Britannica



BROWN, JOHN (17351788)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 660 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROWN, JOHN (17351788) , Scottish physician, was born in 1735 at Lintlaws or at
Preston
 , Berwickshire. After attending the parish school at Duns, he went to Edinburgh and entered
the divinity classes at the university, supporting himself by private tuition. In 1759 he seems to have discontinued his theological studies, and to have begun the study of
medicine
 . He soon attracted the notice of
William
 
Cullen
 , who engaged him as private tutor to his family, and treated him in some respects as an assistant professor. In time, however, he quarrelled with
Cullen
 , .as with the professors of the university in general, and from about 1778 his public lectures contained vigorous attacks on all preceding systems of
medicine
  and Cullen's in particular. In 1780 he published his Elementa Medicinae, expounding his own, or as it was then called the Brunonian, theory of medicine, which for a time had a
great
  vogue. In 1786 he set out for London in the vain
hope
  of bettering his fortunes, and died there of apoplexy on the 17th of October 1788.
An edition of his works, with notice of his
life
  by his son, William Cullen
Brown
 , appeared in 1804.
