VIRGIL. -/ENEID, HENRY MOR$ s i e Edinburgh : James Willde. NOTES NAME AND FAMILY OF BURNES. PART I. ON THE NAME IN ENGLAND. 1 HE Name of BURNES may be clearly traced from a period anterior to the Norman Conquest in connexion with historical places and persons in England. The most remarkable of these places is BURNES- BURGH, where Athelstan defeated the Danes and Scots in 938, called l by Hume Brunsbury, and by Turner, Lingard, and other historians following Rapin, Brunanburgh, but which is thus distinctly mentioned in Hardyng's Chronicle, written in the reign of Edward IV: " Anlaaf, the Kyng of Denmark, full of pride, Cousin to Kyng Constantyne of Scotland, With shippis many, arriued on Humberside, At BURNES-BURGH, and claymed of England For to have of the Kyng (as I vnderstand,) The truage which his eldres had afore, a And with hym brought Colbrod to fight therfore." " " The position of this famous battle," says Sharon Turner, is not ascertained." Rapin and Camden place it at Bromridge, in Nor- 1 There is no place of this name now, but the following seems to be Hume's autho- rity: "Rex Adelstan, decus ducum, nobilibus torquium dator, et frater ejus Edmundus, longa stirpis serie splendentes, percusserunt in beilo, acie gladii apud Brunesburh." Hen. Hunt. Hist. Angl. lib. v, in the Brit. Museum, where all the Historical Records here quoted may be found. 2 The Chronicle of Jhon Hardyng, in metre, from the first begynnyng of England unto the Reign of Edward IV. Lond. 1643. Republished by Sir II. Ellis, 1812. 5 I 1715 2 NOTES ON THE NAME AND thumberland, although the former adds, that some think it was nearer the Humber. It is not improbable, then, that it was at BURN ES- ton, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, which is so much nearer the point where Anlaf disembarked, since with that place also the name of BURNES can be identified from beyond the conquest. " " Though the Hilom," says Dr Whitaker, flows through this parish, it is scarcely sufficient to have given it a name even in a ' burns' are rare and must the rule country where ; we apply general for local names, that where the genitive case is prefixed to ley, ton, and //am, the previous syllables denote the first Saxon planter of the village." At the time of Domesday (A.D. 1081,) Burneston constitut- ed a large district which had been desolated for the transgressions of Merlswan, its Saxon Lord, and was given to Robert, the feodal retainer of Earl Alan. In the reign of Henry I, it had fallen to the Fitz-Hughs, as is shewn by the charter of Gernagot Fitz-Hugh, living in the time of Richard I. and John, to the monks of St Mary's " Abbey at York, whereby he bestows totam terram quam pater meus eis dedit . quam videlicit terram homines de BURNES-ton, J1 ssepe calumpniaverant :' and in the Rolls of that Abbey it is accord- 2 ingly found included at the Reformation. Then we have places of the same name in other parts of England. BuRNES-ton juxta Ermuldon, in Northumberland, was one of the estates left by Jacoba, wife of John de Stryvelyn, chevalier, 14 3 " Richard II, and the manoure of BuRNES-toii" in Derbyshire, per- taining to the Abbey of Welbek, and BuRNES-dale, Burne-house, and other BuRNES-tons, are all duly entered in the records of church plunder during the reign of Henry VIII, or in the Calendars of 4 Pleadings, &c. in that of his daughter Elizabeth. As far more ancient, however, I may mention Burnstead in Kent, designated BuRNES-stede so early as 814, in a charter of Coanulf, King of 5 Mercia, recently printed at length by Mr Kemble, along with other charters of nearly the same period, referring to the lands of Burne or Burnan, in that county; and likewise the Castle of Burne in Lincoln- shire, alluded to in Leland's Itinerary, as the place where St Edmund, of and I out also King the East Saxons, was crowned ; may point Burnestede in Norfolk, which belonged to Beatrix, Countess of Arundele, 18 Henry VI; 6 as well as BuRNES-head in Cumberland, 1 Hist, of Richmondshire, vol. ii, p. 125.

FAMILY OF BURNES. 3 the seat of an ancient family of the same name, up to the reign of it an to 1 Edward I, when passed by heiress the Bellinghams j and the rectory of Burnnus, presented by Robert de Brus of Skelton, ances- tor of the Scottish King, to the Priory of Augustine monks at Gis- 2 burne, in Yorkshire, in 1129. There was also a messuage named Bournes at Isleworth, 21 James I, which had formerly belonged to 3 Syon Monastery. These are instances of the antiquity of the name in connection with places, but the National Records prove that it was borne also by from the if persons of note same early Saxon period ; and the prin- ciple be admitted which is laid down by the learned Mr Skene, and very fairly urged by Lord Lindsay in supplying an imperfect link in " his own pedigree, that the possession of a territorial name of barony as surely marks out a descent from some of the ancient barons as if 4 every step of the genealogy could be proved," the bearers of it have no reason to blush for their lineage. It enjoys the distinction of being repeatedly mentioned, precisely in its present spelling, in the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror, in which Godric de 5 BURNES appears as the Lord of ample domains in Kent, in the the Confessor D. reign of Edward (A. 1050) ; and although despoiled of the chief portion of his lands at the conquest for the benefit of Hugo de Montfort and the Bishop of Baieux, as still allowed certain privileges in common with the religious houses and a few other 6 it is that it a descendant of Saxon nobles ; and probable was near his, mentioned some years later as Marjerie de Bornes, who conveyed by marriage the manor of Borne (Patrick's-borne Merton) to John 7 de Pratellis, by whom it was bestowed on the Priory of Beaulieu. But be this as it may, the original name can be further and readily traced through the reigns of Richard I. and John, by the official 8 registers of the King's Court (Curia Regis) at Westminster, wherein 1 Burn's Cumberland.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

    ﻣﺠﻠﺔ دراﺳﺎت دﻳﺴﻤﺒﺮ 2015 British Intervention in Afghanistan and its Aftermath (1838-1842) Mehdani Miloud * and Ghomri Tedj * Tahri Mohamed University ( Bechar ) Abstract The balance of power that prompted the European powers to the political domination and economic exploitation of the Third World countries in the nineteenth century was primarily due to the industrialization requirements. In fact, these powers embarked on global expansion to the detriment of fragile states in Africa, South America and Asia, to secure markets to keep their machinery turning. In Central Asia, the competition for supremacy and influence involved Britain and Russia, then two hegemonic powers in the region. Russia’s steady expansion southwards was to cause British mounting concern, for such a systematic enlargement would, in the long term, jeopardize British efforts to protect India, ‘the Crown Jewel.’ In their attempt to cope with such contingent circumstances, the British colonial administration believed that making of Afghanistan a buffer state between India and Russia, would halt Russian expansion. Because this latter policy did not deter the Russians’ southwards extension, Britain sought to forge friendly relations with the Afghan Amir, Dost Mohammad. However, the Russians were to alter these amicable relations, through the frequent visits of their political agents to Kabul. This Russian attitude was to increase British anxiety to such a degree that it developed to some sort of paranoia, which ultimately led to British repeated armed interventions in Afghanistan. Key Words: British, intervention, Afghanistan, Great Game Introduction The British loss of the thirteen colonies and the American independence in 1883 moved Britain to concentrate her efforts on India in which the East India Company had established its foothold from the beginning of the seventeenth century up to the Indian Mutiny (1857).

  • Sir Alexander Burnes 1805 - 1841 'Bokhara Burnes'
    Forfarshire Masonic Celebrities Sir Alexander Burnes 1805 - 1841 'Bokhara Burnes' 'Text taken from the Montrose Standard and Angus and Mearns Register - 3rd March 1865' Transcribed and Reproduced by Iain D McIntosh [October 2016] Forfarshire Masonic Celebrities Sir Alexander Burnes Sir Alexander Burnes 1805 to 1841 Killed at Kabul in 1841 along with his Brother Lt Charles Burnes (1812 - 1841) at the beginning of the 1st Anglo Afghan War Sir Alexander Burnes - I.D. McIntosh 2016 Page 2 Text from the “Montrose Standard and Angus and Mearns Register – 3rd March 1865.” In the present number of ‘Good Words’ the following very interesting sketch of the life of the late Sir Alexander Burnes, a native of Montrose, and brother to Mr Adam Burnes, writer is given by Mr John William Kaye under the head of “Our Indian Heroes.” The article is introduced by referring to the brilliant career of the late Joseph Hume in India, the influence it exercised over the mind of young Burnes, and the intimacy which arose between Mr James Burnes and Mr Hume. The father of Sir Alexander, we need not tell our local readers was Provost of Montrose, and was closely related to our national poet Robert Burns. After giving his sons (of whom he had four who lived to be adults) a good education, he availed himself of the intimacy which had arisen between him and Mr Hume, and solicited his influence on behalf of his two sons James and Alexander, the former (the eldest) being destined for medical service. Alexander was promised a cadetship in the East India Company’s Service as soon as he was old enough for the appointment.
