text_original: Thomas Brown, whom Addison describes as ' of facetious memory,' a man who had some genuine powers of imagination, of humour, and of poetry, seems, as Dr. Johnson says, ' to have thought it the pinnacle of excellence to be a merry fellow, and therefore laid out his powers upon small jests and gross buffoonery.' He died while the reign was still young.
