Brody

Brody, a town of Galicia, is situated on a swampy plain, surrounded by forests, 89 miles ENE. of Lemberg by rail. Leather and flax manufactures, breweries, refineries, and fur-dressing are carried on. The trade, which has fallen off lately, is almost entirely in the hands of the Jews, who form three-fourths of the inhabitants, so that Brody has been called the 'German Jerusalem.' Pop. 17,534.
