BRADY

Nicolas, bom in 1669 at Bandon, in Ireland, was educated at Westminster School, and afterwards studied at Oxford. His father was lloyalist officer, but he adopted a different line politics, and distinguished himself by a zealous advocacy of the principles which, succe fully carried out, expelled the Stuarts, and effected the revolution 16^8. Trinity College, Dublin, rewarded his zeal by giving him the degree of D.D. and other appointments; among others the rectory of the church of St. Cree, London, and put him in po e ion of an income which might, but does not seem to have sufficed for his wants, as he thought it nece ary to increase it by keeping a school at Richmond in Surrey. His largest work, a translation of the ^neid, has pa ed into oblivion, but he has made lus name kind of household word, at least in England, by executing, in concert with Nathan Tate, that version of the Psalms which is in common use in the Episcopal Church. He died in 1726.
