Despite a demanding career in the British government, he single-handedly collected, edited, translated, and published thousands of Telugu manuscripts, including classics and folk literature, effectively preserving a significant portion of Telugu literary heritage. Brown also authored Telugu grammars and dictionaries, significantly furthering the study of the language.
