Abstract
THE serious illness of General Morin to which we alluded in our last number, was followed by his death at Paris on Saturday, February 7, in his eighty-fifth year. Arthur Jules Morin was born at Paris, October 17, 1795. He entered at an early age the famous École Polytechnique, but was summoned from his studies during the fatal campaign of 1814 to assist in the defence of Paris, and rendered good service in the brigade of artillery. At the conclusion of peace he devoted four years to practical studies in military engineering at the École d'Application of Metz, and entered the army as lieutenant in a pontoon regiment. His military career was marked by a rapid and regular promotion through the different grades, terminating in his appointment as an Artillery General of Division in 1855.
