	Sir Thomas Browne
		Browne is one of the best early examples of this school; his style, to quote Johnson himself, "is vigorous but rugged, it is learned but pedantick, it is deep but obscure, it strikes but does not please, it commands but does not allure.
		Sir Thomas Browne was born in London, in the parish of St Michael le Quern, on the 19th of October 1605.
		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.

		Browne's literary writings are varied in genre and evince an enquiring curiosity towards the natural world, displaying scientific skepticism and Christian faith as well as tolerance in an often intolerant age.
		Browne's paradoxical place in the history of ideas is another factor as to why he remains little-understood; he was as much a scientist as a Christian and as much a promoter of the new inductive science as an adherent of ancient esoteric learning.
		Thomas De Quincey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Charles Lamb—who thought of himself as the rediscoverer of Browne—were all admirers.

	Sir Thomas Browne
		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.
		Browne, like an impressionist painter, produced his pictures by means of a multitude of details which, if one looks at them in themselves, are discordant, and extraordinary, and even absurd.
		Browne produced his greatest work late in life; for there is nothing in the Religio Medici which reaches the same level of excellence as the last paragraphs of The Garden of Cyrus and the last chapter of Urn Burial.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Browne, Sir Thomas
		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.
		The estate bequeathed by Thomas Browne to his widow, children, and others was left in the execution of Anne Dutton and her brother-in-law Edward Browne, but owing to the Duttons' mismanagement Edward later successfully applied to the Court of Aldermen to become sole executor lest the “orphans” (as they were termed) be disadvantaged.
		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's The Garden of Cyrus
		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.
		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's method of composition partly springs from the private conviction that it is necessary for a scholar to reactivate, from time to time, his mind's fund of knowledge in order to evade the danger of forgetting.

		Reviews and observations on the work by Kenelm Digby forced Browne to provide a correct version of his text, and this appeared in 1643 with the author's endorsement that it was 'a full and intended copy of that piece which was most imperfectly and surreptitiously published before'.
		Despite this assertion, it is likely that Browne was not entirely displeased at the earlier printing of his work, a supposition supported by the fact that he retained Crooke as the publisher of the authorized version.

	OUP: Democratizing Sir Thomas Browne: Havenstein
		Criticism on Sir Thomas Browne is at present in a state of limbo.
		Democratizing Sir Thomas Browne offers a reconsideration both of Religio Medici's style and of its early reception history, especially as witnessed by a group of late-seventeenth and early eighteenth-century texts that can loosely be described as 'imitations'.
		Freeing Browne from the corset of previous stylistic criticism, will, it is hoped, pave the way for a reconsideration of his style and that of seventeenth-century prose more generally.
