Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Jean Baptiste Adolphe Charras (1800-1865) had been expelled from the Polytechnic School, three months before the Days of July, for drinking the health of La Fayette and singing the Marseillaise at a students' banquet. In 1848, he became Under-secretary for War. He was arrested at the coup d'État in 1851 and taken to Brussels. He died at Basle in January 1865.—B.
