BROWN, Bartholomew, musical composer, born in Sterling, Massachusetts, 8 September, 1772" died in Boston, 14 April, 1854. He was graduated at Harvard in 1799, studied law, and established himself in practice in the neighboring towns of Sterling and East Bridgewater. He was one of the most accomplished musicians of his day, and was for twenty years associated with Nahum Mitchell in the editorship of "Templi Carmina," better known as the "Bridgewater Collection of Sacred Music" (Bridgewater, 1812). This collection, though received at first with caution by the churches, soon made its way into general favor. It contains many of Mr. Brown's musical compositions. He wrote the calendars in the "American Farmer's Almanac" for nearly sixty years.
