BRZOZOWSKI, THADDEUS (d. 182o), nineteenth gen eral of the Jesuits, was appointed in succession to Gabriel Gruber on Sept. 2, 18o5. In 18o1 Pius VII. had given the Jesuits liberty to reconstitute themselves in north Russia (see JEsuITs : History), and in 1812 Brzozowski secured the recognition of the Jesuit col lege of Polotsk as a university, though he could not obtain permis sion to go to Spain to agitate for the recognition of the Spanish Jesuits. In 1814 Pius VII., in accordance with the bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum, gave to Brzozowski among others full author ity to receive those who desired to enter the society. The Russian government, however, on Dec. 20, 1815, published an edict ex pelling them from St. Petersburg. Brzozowski died on Feb. 5, 182o.
