William Henry Browne (1825-1900), A Treatise on the Law of Trade-marks and Analogous Subjects, Firm-names, Business-signs, Good-will, Labels, &c. Second Edition, Revised and Englarged (1885)

W. H. Browne (1825-1900) saw military service in Mexico and later in the Civil War; retired as brigadier general and took a position (as did many mustered-out generals, apparently) in the Patent Office. His Treatise on the Law of Trade-Marks reads well to this day (and to this ear): it is philosophical, pragmatic linguistics, peppered with delightful examples and considerable wit (of the dry sort). He has been described as having developed “a reputation as a poet and raconteur” *, with reference to his story “The Mexican Coquette. A Sketch of Modern Chivalry” that appeared in the literary annual/gift-book The Iris : An Illuminated Souvenir, John S. Hart, ed. (Philadelphia, 1853) : 65-88.
Browne was brother of the composer and writer Augusta Brown Garrett (1820-82 *). Included in that same number of The Iris was Augusta’s “A Secret Letter. A Tale of the Crusaders” (pp 121-135).
