R. W. Browne

Robert William Browne (1809–1895) was an English clergyman and classical scholar. Educated at St. John's College, Oxford, he was for many years professor of classical literature at King's College, London, and a prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral, and later became archdeacon of Bath and a canon of Wells. His History of Greek Classical Literature (1851) and History of Roman Classical Literature (1853), written for students and general readers and reprinted in America, surveyed the writers of antiquity in chronological order with generous quotation. He also published sermons and a volume on the moral philosophy of Aristotle.
