80 pp, plates; printed

Rev. Henry Henderson, ‘The true heir of Ballymore / passages from the history of a Belfast Ribbon Lodge / The dark monk of Feola: adventures of a Ribbon pedlar’ ([Belfast: News-Letter Office, c.1859]).

Rev. Henry Henderson was a Presbyterian minister in Holywood, County Down, who wrote much on religion and politics for the ‘Belfast Weekly News’, under the pen-name ‘Ulster Scot’, and who also wrote seven novels, including ‘The true heir of Ballymore: passages from the history of a Belfast Ribbon lodge’ (1859), in all of which a thin coating of fiction strained to cover polemic.
