An English descriptive writer: born in Bedford, March 3, 1842; died at Abu Klea in the Soudan, Jan. 17, 1885. He served in the Royal Horse Guards, in which he became lieutenant-colonel in 1881. Distinguished in military service and with a love of adventure and literary skill, his life and books are equally interesting. His "Ride to Khiva" (London, 1875) ran through eleven editions in a year. "On Horseback through Asia Minor" (1877) was nearly as popular. See R. K. Mann, "Life and Adventures of Burnaby" (London, 1882).
