Talk:Robert Brown

Untitled 2016 comment
In tha article gadget there is a reference to the novel "Spunyarn and spindrift: a sailor boy's log of a voyage out and home in a china tea-clipper" for young readers by Robert Brown, published in 1886 by Houlston and Sons, London. It is not clear to me if any of the Robert Browns listed her is identical to the author of if he is another person. Robert Brown (Scottish botanist from Caithness) was living in 1886 and had a close link to long travels on sail ships - but I didn't find any prove the botanist could be linked to the youth book author. And worldcat.org just puts any "Robert Browns" into one author category. Maybe anyone has a clever idea how to clear the identity of the british youth book author of 1886.
