BROWN, Samuel R., missionary, born in Connecticut in 1810; died in Monson, Massachusetts, in 1880. He was graduated at Yale in 1832, and in 1838 went as a missionary to China, and founded the first Protestant school in that country, the Morrison Chinese school for boys, at Canton, of which he was the head from 1838 till 1847. He returned to the United States in 1847, but in 1859 again went out as a missionary, and was stationed at Yokehama, where he was one of the earliest Christian teachers. He translated the Bible into Japanese, and a number of Japanese books into English, prepared grammars entitled " Colloquial Japanese" and "Prenderast's Mastery System applied to English and Japanese," and wrote many articles on Chinese and Japanese subjects.
