Isaac Hawkins Browne (poet)

Isaac Hawkins Browne (poet)

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.
