Addison Brown

Addison Brown

Addison Brown (1830-?) was an American lawyer and judge. He was born at West Newbury, Massachusetts, and was educated at Amherst College and Harvard College and Law School, graduating from the latter in 1854.

Admitted to the bar of New York in 1855, he practiced there with success until 1881, when he was appointed judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This office he filled until 1901, when he resigned. His judicial opinions, upward of 1800 in number, dealing largely with the law of shipping, admiralty, extradition, and bankruptcy, are printed in "The Federal Reporter", volumes viii-cxv.

Judge Brown also gained a reputation as a botanist. He was one of the founders of the New York Botanical Garden (1891) and published the following works:
* "Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada" (three volumes, 1896-98; new edition, 1913 — with Nathaniel L. Britton)
* "The Elgin Botanical Garden and its Relation to Columbia College and the New Hampshire Grants" (1908)
