BARRILI, See also:ANTONIO GIULIO (1836- ) , See also:Italian novelist, was See also:born at See also:Savona, and was educated for the legal profession, which he abandoned for journalism in See also:Genoa. He was a volunteer in the See also:campaign of 1859 and served with See also:Garibaldi in 1866 and 1867. From 1865 (Capitan Dodero) onwards he published a large number of books of fiction, which had wide popularity, his See also:work being commonly compared with that of See also:Victor See also:Cherbuliez. Some of the best of the later ones are See also:Santa See also:Cecilia (1866), Come un Sogno (1875), and L'Olmo e l' Edera (1897). His Raggio di Dio appeared in 1899. Barrili also wrote two plays and various volumes of See also:criticism, including Il rinnovamento letterario italiano (189o). He was elected to the Italian chamber of deputies in 1876; and in 1889 became See also:professor of Italian literature at Genoa. BARRING-OUT, a See also:custom, formerly See also:common in See also:English See also:schools, of barring the See also:master out of the school premises. A typical example of this practice was at Bromfield school, See also:Cumberland, where See also:William See also:Hutchinson says " it was the custom, See also:time out of mind, for the scholars, at See also:Fasting's Even (the beginning of See also:Lent) to depose and exclude the master from the school for three days." During this See also:period the school doors were barricaded and the boys armed with See also:mock weapons. If the master's attempts to re-enter were successful, extra tasks were inflicted as a See also:penalty, and willingly performed by the boys. On the third See also:day terms of See also:capitulation, usually in Latin See also:verse, were signed, and these always conceded the immediate right to indulge in See also:football and a cockfight. The custom was See also:long retained at See also:Eton and figures in many school stories.
