Biography

He was born in Somerset County, New Jersey, November 4, 1784 and graduated from Princeton University in 1802. He studied theology under Dr. John Woodhull, of Freehold Township, New Jersey. Later, he was ordained by the New Brunswick presbytery, and in 1807 was made pastor at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where in 1810 he established a classical and commercial boarding-school. In 1842 he moved to Mount Holly, and subsequently to Trenton, New Jersey, where he devoted his time principally to literary work. Among his publications are "Life of Robert Finley, D. D.," "The Unity of the Human Race." and also a "Historical Vindication of the Abrogation of the Plan of Union by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America" (Philadelphia, 1855). Dr. Brown was one of the founders of the American Colonization Society, and worked for its advancement, and was one of the original members of the American Bible Society. He died on April 19, 1861 in Trenton, NJ.

gollark: They don't seem to want to *ban* end-to-end encryption as much as backdoor the popularly used stuff. Which is still bad. I should finish writing that blog post on it some time this decade.

gollark: It's probably with consent to the extent that *any* social media apps do, i.e. "the long incomprehensible privacy policy says we can".

gollark: I wonder how they're blocking them, anyway. Just meddling with DNS? Blocking related IP addresses?

gollark: The UK does do its own internet censorship, naturally, which is very annoying because apparently if I don't verify I'm 18 I can't use archive.org on my phone.
