WARBURTON, See also:BARTHOLOMEW See also:ELLIOTT See also:GEORGE (1810-1852) , usually known as See also:Eliot Warburton, See also:British traveller and novelist, was See also:born in 1810 near See also:Tullamore, See also:Ireland. He was educated at Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and was called to the Irish See also:bar in 1837. He contracted lasting friendships with Monckton Milnes (See also:Lord See also:Houghton) and A. W. See also:Kinglake, and gave up his practice as a See also:barrister for travel and literature. He made a See also:hit with his first See also:book, The See also:Crescent and the See also:Cross. It was an See also:account of his travels in 1843 in See also:Turkey, See also:Syria, See also:Palestine and See also:Egypt, and fairly divided public See also:attention with Kinglake's Eothen, which appeared in the same See also:year, 1844. See also:Interest was centred in the See also:East at the See also:time, and Warburton had popular sympathy with him in his eloquent advocacy of the See also:annexation of Egypt; but, apart from this See also:consideration, the spirited narrative of his adventures and the picturesque sketches of Eastern See also:life and See also:character were more than sufficient to justify the success of the book. His most substantial See also:work was a Memoir of See also:Prince See also:Rupert and the Cavaliers (1849), enriched with See also:original documents, and written with eloquent partiality for the subject. This was followed in 185o by Reginald See also:Hastings, a novel, the scenes of which were laid in the same See also:period of See also:civil See also:war, and, in 1851, by another See also:historical novel, See also:Darien, or The See also:Merchant Prince. He was sent by the See also:Atlantic and Pacific Junction See also:Company to explore the See also:isthmus of Darien and to negotiate a treaty with the See also:Indian tribes. He sailed on this ' Seven See also:species have been recorded as wandering to See also:Greenland, and one, Dendroeca virens, is said to have occurred in See also:Europe (Naumannia, 1858, p.

425). See also:

mission in the " See also:Amazon," which perished by See also:fire with nearly all on See also:board on the 4th of See also:January 1852. His See also:brother, See also:Major George Warburton (1816–1857), wrote Hochelaga, or See also:England in the New See also:World (1846), and The See also:Conquest of See also:Canada (1849).
