Isaac Hawkins Browne (poet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:
Isaac Hawkins Browne (1705–1760), is remembered as the author of some clever imitations of contemporary poets on the theme of A Pipe of Tobacco, somewhat analogous to the Rejected Addresses of a later day. He also wrote a Latin poem on the immortality of the soul.
Browne, who was a country gentleman and barrister, had great conversational powers. He was a friend of Dr. Johnson.
