John Brown was a Scottish physician and essayist, best known for his three-volume collection Horae Subsecivae, which featured essays and papers on art, medical history, and biography. His writings reveal a deep engagement with art, the history of medicine, and biographical subjects, often exploring the complex relationship between scientific advancement and patient well-being. Brown held firm views on the limitations of examinations in assessing student progress and questioned the assumption that scientific advances always served patients' best interests. Through essays like "Rab and his Friends" and "Pet Marjorie," he demonstrated a thoughtful and humane literary voice.
