=[HENDERSON, Rev. Henry]; “Ulster Scot.”= Was for many years a Presbyterian minister in Holywood, Co. Down, and wrote for BELFAST WEEKLY NEWS _Woodleigh Hall, a Tale of the Fenians_, and _The Moutrays of Clonkeen_. ⸺ THE TRUE HEIR OF BALLYMORE. Pp. 80. Demy 8vo. (BELFAST). 1_s._ Wrappers. 1859. Sub-t.:—“Passages from the history of a Belfast Ribbon Lodge.” Frontisp.—the insignia of Ribbonism. An anti-Ribbon pamphlet in the form of a story. Relates the machinations of a certain Ribbon lodge for the destruction of Protestantism, and, in particular, the scheme whereby a Catholic widow is made to inveigle Col. Obrey into marriage. The latter drives out his sister and nephew, and Ballymore is invaded by a low-class drinking set of Catholics, who finally bring the poor Colonel to his grave. Subsequently it transpires that Mrs. Connor’s husband was alive all the time, and the Colonel’s nephew comes into his own. The book is full of the awful crimes of Ribbonism, and closes thus:—“No statesmanship, no good government will ever deliver our land from Ribbon disloyalty, outrages, and savage assassinations until Romanism is extirpated from the country. Ribbonism is the offspring of Romanism.” ⸺ THE DARK MONK OF FEOLA: Adventures of a Ribbon Pedlar. (_Office of_ BELFAST NEWS LETTER). c. 1859. “The first part contains a very affecting episode illustrative of the evils which are certain to follow the union of Protestant women with men who belong to the Roman Catholic faith. To all Protestants the story cannot fail to be interesting; and Orangemen, especially, will peruse it with peculiar pleasure.”—(DOWNSHIRE PROTESTANT). ⸺ THE SANDY ROW CONVERT. =HENRY-RUFFIN, Mrs. M. E.= ⸺ THE NORTH STAR. Pp. 356. (BOSTON: _Little, Brown_). $1.50 net. Six good Ill. by Wilbur D. Hamilton. [1904]. 1908. Scene: Norway and Ireland. The story of how Olaf Trygvesson, the exiled king of Norway, returned as a Christian champion, and overthrew his pagan rival. The wild brutal paganism of the time is depicted with realism. There is an interesting account of a great gathering in Dublin, and a sketch of Olaf’s life in exile amid his Irish hosts. There is also a love interest. Mrs. Henry-Ruffin is the only daughter of the late Thomas Henry, of Mobile, Alabama. =HENTY, G. A.= Born 1832, in Cambridgeshire. He spent some time in Belfast in his capacity of Purveyor to the Forces. D. 1902. One of the greatest, perhaps quite the greatest, of writers for boys. His eighty-six or more published stories deal with almost all countries and every period of history. All his stories are sane and healthy and told in the manner that boys love. Their historical side is carefully worked out. ⸺ FRIENDS THOUGH DIVIDED. (_Frowde and Hodder & Stoughton_). 3_s._ 6_d._ Excellent coloured Illustr. Attractive binding and general get-up.
