| | Thomas Browne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This work was circulated in manuscript among his friends, and it caused Browne some surprise and embarrassment when an unauthorised edition appeared in 1642, since the work contained a number of religious speculations that might be considered unorthodox. | | | Thomas De Quincey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Charles Lamb (who considered himself the rediscoverer of Browne) were all admirers. | | | Sir Thomas Browne, MD (October 19, 1605 – October 19, 1682) was an English author of varied works that disclose his wide learning in diverse fields including medicine, religion, science and the esoteric. |

| | SIR THOMAS BROWNE - LoveToKnow Article on SIR THOMAS BROWNE |
| | Of Browne, as of the greatest writers, it is true that the style is the man. The form of his thought is as peculiar and remarkable as the matter; the two, indeed, react on one another. | | | Browne professes to be absolutely free from heretical opinions, but asserts the right to be guided by his own reason in cases where no precise guidance is given either by Scripture or by Church teaching. | | | The interest aroused by this edition compelled Browne to put forth a correct version (1643) of the work, in which letters between Digby and Browne were included. |

| | Life of Sir Thomas Browne |
| | While Browne seems to have had a keen intellect and was interested in many subjects, his life was outwardly uneventful, although during the Civil War he declared his support for the King and received a knighthood from Charles II in 1671. | | | Browne was also a keen antiquarian (as were so many others of his class and education), and his next book, Hydriotaphia, or Urn-Burial (1658) was the result. | | | Browne's innate curiosity never failed him, and his other works reflect his multi-faceted personality, too. |

| | Sir Thomas Browne |
| | Everyone knows that Browne was a physician who lived at Norwich in the seventeenth century; and, so far as regards what one must call, for want of a bet-ter term, his " life," that is a sufficient summary of all there is to know. | | | Browne saw that " dark " was the one word which would give, better than any other, the precise impression of mystery and secrecy which he intended to produce; and so he used it. | | | Gosse's treatment of Browne as an artist in language is the least satisfactory part of his book: for it is difficult not to think that upon this crucial point Mr. |

| | There were three other children, but the father died early, and the mother married again, her second husband being Sir Thomas Dutton, apparently the opponent and slayer of Sir Hatton Cheke in a fierce, and rather famous, duel on Calais sands. | | | Of their numerous children—ten, or eleven, or, according to the best authorities, twelve—only one son, Edward Browne, himself a man of distinction, and three daughters, survived their father. | | | The fourth, Sir Thomas Urquhart, had great schemes for the improvement, as he thought it, of the future; but he, also, “catched the opportunity to write of old things”; and, with a special Scottish differentia, represented the learned and intensely anti-“modern” quaintness of the time in thought and style. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Browne, Sir Thomas |
| | Browne was fortunate in his tutors: the theologian Thomas Lushington, a high churchman with tolerationist tendencies, influenced the formation of Browne's own irenic doctrinal positions, and later helped lure Browne to Norwich; and Thomas Clayton, Lecturer in Anatomy and Regius Professor of Physic, fostered Browne's decision to enter the medical profession. | | | Thomas Browne was born in Cheapside, London in 1605, a few weeks before the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot, and a few months after the publication of Francis Bacon's The Advancement of Learning. | | | Literary engagements with Browne have considered his work as part of the development of early modern prose, in the light of autobiographical and confessional writing, as Attic in style, as investigative mimesis, and as self-advertising rhetoric. |

| | The physician and philosopher Sir Thomas Browne |
| | Browne was of an empirical nature, as a physician he was licensed to obtain Opium which was the only available pain-killer and tranquillizer in medicine in his day. | | | The influence of Paracelsus upon Browne must have been profound for his eldest son Edward, one of the few people who really knew him well commissioned the Paracelsan word 'spagyrici', the name of Swiss alchemist-physician's distinctive brand of alchemy, to be engraved upon his father's Coffin-plate. | | | Browne's sombre speculations and meditations upon death represent none other than the initial stage of the alchemical opus, the nigredo poetically alluded to in Urn-Burial as 'lost in the uncomfortable night of nothing'. |

| | For the account of the finding of Sir Thomas Browne's skull I am indebted to Mr Friswell's notice of Sir Thomas in his "Varia." The text of the "Hydriotaphia" is taken from the folio edition of 1686, in the Lincoln's Inn library. | | | Some of Browne's notes to that edition have been omitted, and most of the references, as they refer to books which are not likely to be met with by the general reader. | | | From Padua, Browne went to Leyden, and this sudden change from a most bigoted Roman Catholic to a most bigoted Protestant country was not without its effect on his mind, as can be traced in his book. |

| | Thomas Browne's The Garden of Cyrus |
| | As he explains in his dedication, Browne writes as a lover of gardens for another lover of gardens, - although at the time of composition he was probably not yet the owner of that well-kept garden which John Evelyn was to praise in his diary in October 1671. | | | Browne, doubtless, shared Bacon's opinion that "the great help to the memory is writing."10 His censure of commonplace books, on the other hand, was even more radical than Bacon's. | | | Browne praises Bacon's exquisite learning and, at the same time, tells him that he wants to deal with a new subject hitherto unconsidered by or unknown to him. |
