d In his new book Colonial Fights and
Fighters" Cyrus Townsend Brady says;
Nothing defeats like defeat. and poor
Braddock has been overwhelmed with
unmerited censure, his character and ca.
reer* made the subject: Of heartless Jest,
his misfortunes emphasized by 1lt1de;;
served obloquy, his reputation destroyed
by insinuation and innuendo, and his
good qualities-wlich were many-have
been almost totally lost sight Of.
:, 1T was Braddock's misfortune to be
the first British officer to conduct a cam
paign against Indians and savages in the
wilderness, and unless he were possessed
OF the genius which would enable him to
adapt himself to unknown and unfamiliar
conditions the first soldier was fairly
enough doomed to defeat. 1 have great
sympathy for him and some admiration,
which has arisen without design on my
part from study of the various authori-
ties used in preparing this account Ar
rogant: imperious, stubborn. self-willed,
hard, he had his faults-and they were
grave-but they were more than counter
balanced by his virtues"

On a day 1 met with Folly,
Knowing not-a tlirt was she;
She was piquant, she was jolly,
And she thrust out melancholy
With smile of Witchery.
I, supine, could not edisarm her,
Though l guessed in some degree
There was mischief in my charmer.
So it came about, you see,
Folly made fool Of me:
Folly tired of her adorer
When her slave l came to be.
Scotf;ng at the love bore her.
EeXed because I boldly wore her
Too familiar livery.

SLOrn Of all my panoply.
SO 1t was when she bereft me
OF her smile she set me free
