BROWN, JOHN (18101882) , Scottish physician and author, son of John Brown (1784-1858), was born at

Biggar

BIGGAR

Scotland

, on the 22nd of September 181o. He graduated asM.D. at the university of Edinburgh in 1833, and practised as a physician in that city. His reputation, however, is based on the two volumes of essays, Horae Subsecivae (i.e. "leisure

hours

HOURS, CANONICAL

") (18.58, 1861), John Leech and other Papers (1882), Rab and His Friends (1859), and Marjorie Fleming: a Sketch (1863). The first 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 criticism. His
