Burton: Collected From "Men of Eminence;" From Sir Richard and Lady Burton´s Own Works; From the Press; From Personal Knowledge, and Various Other Reliable Sources In the foremost rank of the noble band of illustrious Explorers of which England is so justly proud, stands Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton, K.C.M.G., F.R.G.S., late of Her Majesty´s Bombay Army (18th Native Infantry); Chief of Staff Irregular Osmanli Cavalry serving in the Crimea; Her Britannic Majesty´s Consul for the West Coast of Africa; for Santos (Sao Paulo, Brazil); for Damascus, and now for Trieste, Austria, the celebrated Eastern traveller, author, and linguist; Gold Medallist of the English and French Royal Geographical Societies and Maitre d´Armes in France. Richard Burton´s grandfather was the Rev. Edward Burton, Rector of Tuam in Galway (who with his brother, Bishop Burton, of Tuam, were the first of this branch to settle in Ireland). They were two of the Burtons of Barker Hill, near Shap, Westmoreland, who own a common ancestor with the Burtons of Yorkshire, of Carlow, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, and Shropshire.
