About this book
Three prose works of Sir Thomas Browne are collected here: Religio Medici, a physician's reflections on his faith; Hydriotaphia, a discourse on ancient burial urns found in Norfolk; and the Letter to a Friend. J. W. Willis Bund edited this 1869 edition with an introduction and notes. The introduction gives a short life of Browne, born in London in 1605 and educated at Winchester and Oxford, and discusses his ornate seventeenth-century style, quoting Samuel Johnson's mixed verdict on it.
