=BURROW, Charles Kennett.=
⸺ PATRICIA OF THE HILLS. Pp. 330. (_Lawrence & Bullen_). 6_s._ 1902.
A love story of which the incidents take place during the
Famine years and the Young Ireland movement. With the latter
the hero, who tells the story, is clearly in sympathy,
though no controversial matter is introduced. The characters
(exceptionally well drawn) are types, but also very live
personalities. Locality not indicated. An interesting and
uncommon tale. By same author: _The Lifted Shadow_, _The Way of
the Wind_, &c.
=BURTON, J. Bloundelle.=
⸺ THE LAND OF BONDAGE. (_F. V. White_). 6_s._ 1904.
Ireland and England in 1727; then the colony of Virginia,
adventures with Indians, &c. The last pages bring us to
1748.—(_Nield_).
=BUTLER, A.=
⸺ SHAMROCK LEAVES. (_Sealy, Bryers_). Pp. 84. 1_s._ 1886.
“The (five) stories are founded—not upon unreliable, secondhand
information—but _bona fide_ facts.”—(_Preface_). “A kindly
Irish spirit runs through these Tales.”—NATION.
=BUTLER, Mary E.= Mrs. O’Nowlan. Daughter of Peter Lambert Butler,
and granddaughter of William Butler, of Bunnahow, Co. Clare. Educated
privately, and at Alexandra College, Dublin. Married (1907) the late
Thomas O’Nowlan, Professor of Classics and Irish in University College,
and at Maynooth. Lives in Dublin.—(CATH. WHO’S WHO).
⸺ A BUNDLE OF RUSHES. Pp. 150. (_Sealy, Bryers_). 1_s._ 1899.
A little volume of short stories, pleasantly written; Irish
in tone and poetic. Well received by the Press, and by the
public—(_Press Notice_). Fifteen stories in all. Six are prose
idyls of ancient Celtic inspiration, nine are lively little
modern sketches in which he and she get happily married in the
end.—(_I.M._).
⸺ THE RING OF DAY. Pp. 360. (_Hutchinson_). 6_s._ 1906.
A romance the interest of which centres in the aspirations
of the Irish Ireland movement. Highly idealized, but full of
intense earnestness and conviction. The characters are types
and talk as such. Eoin, however, is a strong personality.
=BUTT, Isaac.= Born in Glenfin, Co. Donegal, 1813. Son of Rev. Robert
Butt, Rector of Stranorlar. Educated Royal School, Raphoe, and T.C.D.
Helped to found the DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE, 1833, and was editor from
1834-38. Was called to the Bar and distinguished himself there. Opposed
O’Connell and Repeal. Defended Smith O’Brien, 1848, and the Fenian
prisoners in 1865-9. Became a Home Ruler, practically founded the party
in 1870, and worked strenuously for it. Died 1879. Wrote important works
