He emigrated to America in 1808 after completing his theological studies in Glasgow, and was the pastor of Associate Churches in Pennsylvania. In 1815 he became rector of the grammar school in what is now Rutgers University. After pastoring a Presbyterian Church for nine years in Baskinridge, New Jersey, he was installed as one of the ministers of the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church in New York city. "Stored with knowledge, familiar with almost every department of learning, he possessed a ready facility in bringing his enlarged resources to bear on matters of practical utility with great effect; and, pioneer in the Catholic controversy, he was mainly instrumental in rousing the attention of the community to a system then regarded by him, and now regarded by very many, as fraught with danger to our cherished liberties. In this cause his zeal was ardent, his courage indomitable, his efforts unmeasured, and his ability and eloquence admitted by all. His sermons and lectures were from year to year listened to by eager crowds. Dr. Brownlee usually preached without being trammelled by the use of notes, either extemporaneously, or having written and committed to memory.
