Isaac Hawkins Browne (January 21, 1705 – February 14, 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.
Born in Burton-upon-Trent, Browne was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] A country gentleman and barrister, he had great conversational powers. He was a friend of Dr. Johnson.
He was MP for Much Wenlock, Shropshire from 1744 to 1754. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in February, 1750. [2]
