He is remembered as the author of some clever imitations of contemporary poets Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope on the theme of A Pipe of Tobacco (1736), somewhat analogous to the Rejected Addresses of a later day. He also wrote a Latin poem on the immortality of the soul, De Animi Immortalitate (1754).[1] LifeHe was born in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, the son of William Browne, Vicar of the parish, and Ann (née Hawkins) Browne.

He was a friend of Samuel Johnson.{{sfn|Scott|1886}} He was MP for Much Wenlock, Shropshire from 1744 to 1754, although he did not apparently contribute much in debates, Dr Johnson commenting that, ironically: Browne, one of the first great wits of this country, got into Parliament and never opened his mouth.[1] He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in February, 1750.[3] Browne, recalled by Dr Johnson (in 1773) to have drunk hard for thirty years,[4] died at his London home in Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury Square, on 14 February 1760.{{sfn|Scott|1886}} He is memorialised at Trinity College, Cambridge chapel.[5] FamilyHe married Jane Trimnell, daughter of David Trimnell, in 1744.
