This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

clergyman dentist teacher poet
Solyman Brown was born on November 17, 1790 in Litchfield, Connecticut, a son of Nathaniel and Thankful (Woodruff) Brown.
Educated with a view to the ministry in the Morris Academy at Litchfield and Yale College, he graduated from the latter in 1812 and received its A. M. in 1817.
In 1813, after a year of special preparatory study, Solyman was licensed as a Congregational minister for four years, and occupied several pulpits in northern Connecticut during that period.
A renewal of his license was refused through the opposition of the Rev. Lyman Beecher, who held that two years of special study were necessary for a minister. During the controversy that followed, Brown published An Address to the People of Litchfield County (1818); Second Address . .. (1818); and Servile Spirits and Spiritual Masters (1820); all three containing biographical data.
In 1818 he also published An Essay on American Poetry (a long poem), together with Miscellaneous Pieces (most of which had appeared originally in the New Haven Herald). Failing to obtain a renewal of his license, he removed in 1820 to New York City, where he was engaged as a classical instructor in several fashionable private schools for the next twelve years.
During his school-teaching period he published The Birth of Washington; a Poem (1822); A Comparative View of the Systems of Pestalozzi and Lancaster (1825), and Sermons (Swedenborgian, 1829).
In 1832 and 1833 he was again in Parmly's house, where Brown studied dentistry and wrote his best known work, Dentologia (1833). It is the only dental didactic poem in English, a real literary curiosity, which was favorably received by reviewers, and has been quoted frequently by dental writers. It was reprinted five times; it "had a great influence in elevating dentistry as a profession, " and the author has been called "The Poet Laureate of the Dental Profession".
Brown left the Parmly house, and practised dentistry with Samuel Avery. During the previous two years a dozen of his poems appeared in the New York Mirror, the earliest being signed "Mynalos, " an anagram of Solyman. In the Mirror fór 1834 he published The Hermit of the Baikal, a long prose poem; and in the same year he and Parmly were the prime movers in the organization of the world's first dental association, the Society of Surgeon Dentists of the City and State of New York. In 1837 he received his brother, Augustus Woodruff Brown, as student-assistant, and they were associated in dentistry till 1844.
To this brother Solyman Brown dedicated his Dental Hygeia: a Poem (1838), and about the same time he wrote a novel of the American Revolution, "Elizabeth of Litchfield, " published posthumously in the Litchfield Enquirer (1917 - 18), with an Introduction containing the only published account of his early life, by his grandson, L. Parmly Brown.
In 1840 he published Llewellen's Dog: A Ballad, and in the same year he was one of the organizers of the first national dental association, the American Society of Dental Surgeons, from which as a member he received one of the original degrees of Doctor of Dental Surgery. His essay on The Importance of Regulating the Teeth of Children (1841) was the earliest treatise on orthodontia published in America, and on the title page the author first appears with his M. D. (honorary).
In 1844 Brown was preacher, teacher, and dentist in a short-lived Fourieristic "phalanx" at Leraysville, Pennsylvania. He practised dentistry and preached in the Swedenborgian churches at Ithaca and Danby, New York, from 1846 to 1850; and then returned to New York City, where he opened a dental supply depot and published his Semi-Annual Dental Expositor (1852 - 54).
He was one of a group that conducted the New York Teeth Manufacturing Company from 1854 to 1860, and at the time of the World's Fair in the Crystal Palace, 1853, he edited and published the Citizens' and Strangers' Pictorial and Business Directory for the City of New York.
His Union of Extremes: A Discourse on Liberty and Slavery followed about 1858. Returning to Danby in 1862, he served as a Swedenborgian minister till 1870, when he retired.
He died in his eighty-sixth year at the home of a married daughter in Dodge Center, Minnesota, and was buried with Masonic honors, having been a Mason some sixty years.

In 1822 Brown embraced Swedenborgianism, and preached in the New Jerusalem Church in New York for many years. He also practised dentistry and preached in the Swedenborgian churches at Ithaca and Danby, New York, from 1846 to 1850.
Later in life, he served as a Swedenborgian minister in Danby from 1862 till 1870.
A forceful public speaker, with marked mechanical ability and literary talent, he did much for the elevation of dentistry; but his predominant interests were always religious, and he was seldom without a pulpit.
Solyman Brown was a member of the Society of Surgeon Dentists of the City and State of New York. He was also a member of the American Association of Dental Surgeons. Solyman Brown was also a Mason for over sixty years.
Solyman Brown was a typical tall New Englander.
Poetry was his chief hobby; he made frequent contributions of verses to newspapers and periodicals, and has a section in C. W. Everest's Poets of Connecticut (1843), with a biographical sketch. He also had talent as a sculptor and painter in oil, his bust and portrait of Eleazar Parmly being his best-known artworks.
On December 23, 1834 Solyman Brown married Elizabeth, a daughter of Amos Butler, editor and proprietor of the Mercantile Advertiser of New York.
He was survived by his wife and six of their eight children, one of whom, E. Parmly Brown (1844 - 1916), was a prominent dentist of New York for nearly fifty years. Solyman Brown was a typical tall New Englander.
Brown worked with well renowned dentists such as Chapin A. Harris and Norman William Kingsley.
1844 - 1916
His later career was largely influenced by his close friendship with an eminent dentist of New York City, Eleazar Parmly.
