BRIEF NOTES.
Much interest Is felt In the lecture to be
given by Mr.. William l.. Royal, on Kapo-
leon Bonaparte, at the Theatre April 9th,
for the benefit OF the Rosemary Library.
Mr.. Royal Is Thoroughly conversant with
the subject, and brilliant lecture will
commendeble. To those of reflective
mind in Richmond the need Of public
library has long been apparent. Probably
no other CITY of its size and wealth has suf-
fered this reproach TO exist so long and so
glaringly as Richmond. :,
