A meeting in London celebrated the centeniary
of the death of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the Polish
general and patriot, who died on the 15th October, 1817, by the fall of his
horse over a precipice. Viscount Bryce sent the following message to the meeting:- "Kosciuszko was one of the
most pure and valiant heroes in history. His
influence is still felt today, when Poland has the prospect of recovering her
freedom." |
