Sir William Brown

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.

In addition to Sir William Brown and the Earl of Derby, another munificent donor arose in the person of Mr. Joseph Mayer, F.S.A., who in 1867 made a free gift to the town of his valuable and in some respects unique collection of historical art treasures, which occupy a department of their own, under the name of the "Mayer Collection."

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.
