BURRELL, PERCY. 



CABRERA, DON RAMON. 



BURRELL, Sir PEROT, Bart., M. P., was 

 born in 1812; died July 20, 1876. He was 

 educated at Westminster and at Christchurch, 

 Oxford. He was a deputy-lieutenant and jus- 

 tice of the peace for the county of Sussex, and 

 a captain in the Eighteenth Sussex Rifle Vol- 

 unteers. In 1862 he was elected for the 

 borough of Shoreham, and kept this seat up to 

 his death. In politics lie was a moderate Con- 

 servative, declaring himself in favor of "nation- 

 al education being based on religion." The 

 ancestors of the family were the Burrells of 

 Brooke Park, near Alnwick, one of whom 

 married a daughter of Sir Walter de Wodeland, 

 equerry to the Black Prince. 



BUSHNELL, HORACE, D. D., an American 

 clergyman, born at New Preston, Conn., in 

 1802 ; died at Hartford, February 17, 1876. He 

 graduated at Yale College in 1827, was teacher 

 in an academy at Norwich, Conn., and in 1829 

 became tutor in Yale College, and at the same 

 tima studied law, and afterward theology. In 

 1833 he became pastor of the North Congre- 

 gitional Church in Hartford, where he con- 

 tinued with eminent ability until 1859, when 

 ill health compelled him to resign. In 1837 he 

 delivered at Yale College the Phi Beta Kappa 

 oration on the " Principles of National Great- 

 ness," and in 1847 published " Christian Nurt- 

 ure," in which he discussed the subject of 

 religious education, and treated of the family 

 as a religious institution. In 1849 appeared 

 " God in Christ," three discourses previously 

 delivered, with a preliminary " Dissertation on 

 Language as related to Thought." The views 

 herein expressed respecting the doctrine of the 

 Trinity were questioned, and the author was 

 called upon to answer a charge of heresy be- 

 fore the Clerical Association, of which he was 

 a member. The charge was not sustained. In 



further explanation and defense of his views, 

 he published in 1851 a work entitled u Christ 

 in Theology," in which he argued that sys- 

 tematic orthodoxy is not attainable, and that 

 human language is incapable of expressing 

 with any exactness theological science. His 

 other principal works are : " Sermons for the 

 New Life " (1858) ; " Nature and the Super- 

 natural " (1858) ; " Work and Play " (1864) ; 

 "Christ and His Salvation" (1864); "The 

 Vicarious Sacrifice " (1865) ; " Moral Uses of 

 Dark Things" (1868); and "Woman's Suf- 

 frage, the Reform against Nature" (1869). He 

 also published many addresses, and was a fre- 

 quent contributor to religious periodicals. 



BUTCHER, SAMUEL, Bishop of Meath, born 

 in 1811 ; died July 22, 1876. He was the sec- 

 ond son of Vice-Admiral Butcher, R. N. He 

 received his education in Trinity College, Dub- 

 lin, of which he was elected a Fellow in 1837. 

 In 1850 he was appointed Professor of Eccle- 

 siastical History, in 1852 Regius Professor of 

 Divinity, and in 1866 Bishop of Meath. He 

 was a member of her Majesty's Privy Council 

 in Ireland, a member of the Royal Irish Acad- 

 emy, and enjoyed precedence, in right of his 

 S3e, as premier bishop in that kingdom. Ho 

 was the ninetieth holder of the see in succession 

 since its foundation in the sixth century. He 

 wrote " An Introductory Lecture on the Study 

 of Ecclesiastical Literature " (1851), " Sermons 

 on the Crimean War " (1854), " On the Present 

 State of the Romish Controversy in Ireland " 

 (1855), "On the Relative Value of Human 

 and Divine Knowledge " (1857), " On the Con- 

 servative Character of the English Refor- 

 mation " (1862), " Some Thoughts on the Su- 

 preme Authority of the Scriptures" (1864),

 con ' " (1866). 



C 



CABALLERO, FERNAN", the nom deplume of 

 the Spanish novelist Cecilia de Arrom, born in 

 1797; died in July, 1876. She was born in 

 Switzerland, and was the daughter of Bohl von 

 Faber, a German merchant. Having been 

 educated in Germany, she went to Spain with 

 her father in 1813, where the latter had a large 

 business. Having become a widow after a short 

 period of married life, she married the Marquis 

 de Arco-Hermeso, and, when the latter had 

 died in 1835, the lawyer Arrom. As his widow 

 she has lived in Seville since 1863. In 1849 

 she published her first novel, " La Gaviota," 

 which was followed by a number of others, 

 among which may be particularly mentioned 

 " La Familia de Alvareda," " Clemencia," 

 " Lagrimas," and " Ella." She also published 

 several collections of smaller tales. Her works 

 from the beginning attracted general attention 

 in Spain, which soon spread to France, Ger- 



many, and other European countries. She 

 was the founder of modern realistic romance 

 in Spain, whose people she described with 

 wonderful truth and accuracy. But in all her 

 works she showed herself an ardent Spaniard, 

 and her writings are of a national character, 

 like those of few other writers of fiction. Her 

 object was to encourage the Spaniards to hold 

 on to their old customs, their old faith, and to 

 return to the old monarchy. In this way she 

 expected to see a regeneration of Spain brought 

 about. Her " Cuentas Poesias Populares Anda- 

 luces " (1859) were the first collection of Span- 

 ish popular tales and songs. Her principal 

 works were translated into English, German, 

 French, and Italian.
