an illustrated lecture delivered last night
by f. ID. F. Brady. NJ. A, at Carroll In

ject was presented in forcible and at

emerged from obscurity as lieutenant of
artillery until his death in confinement on
the Island of ST. Helena, after his brill
liant career al soldier. statesman, and
diplomat had changed the map and his
tory of Europe.
Mr. Brady opened his discourse with a
brief review OF the political conditions
eXIant in France and in Europe at the
time when Napoleon came first into prom
inence. He pointed out the state of af-
fairs which rendered the advent of a man
of Napoleon's type and energy a success
full stepping stone TO future greatness.
Then followed "a brief description or his
campaigns in italy Egypt, and Austria
and Of the principal battles in each coun-
try, many OF which were illustrated by
stereopticon views. The speaker out
lined the rapid successes which brought
Napoleon to the pinnacle of his illustri-
Gus career before he was committed to
Elba. The causes of his downfall were
considered and followed with descrip-
tion of the series of events OF less than a
years time which eliminated in the de-
feat at Waterloo and resulted in the
Isolation on the Island of st. Helena.
