BOYNE

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 356 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOYNE , a river of Ireland, which, rising in the Bog of Allen, near Carbery in Co. Kildare, and flowing in a north-easterly direction, passes Trim, Navan and
Drogheda
 , and enters the Irish Sea, 4 M. below the town last named. It is navigable for barges to Navan, 19 m. from its mouth. Much of the scenery on its banks is beautiful, though never grand. About 2 m. west of
Drogheda
 , an obelisk, 150 ft. in height, marks the spot where the forces of William III. gained a celebrated victory over those of James II., on the 1st of July' 169o, known as the battle of the Boyne.
BOYS' BRIGADE, an organization founded in Glasgow by Mr (afterwards Sir) W. A.
Smith
  in 1883 to develop Christian manliness by the use of a semi-military discipline and order, gymnastics, summer camps and religious services and classes. There are about 2200 companies connected with different churches throughout the United Kingdom, the British empire and the United States, with 1o,000 officers and ioo,000 boys. A similar organization, confined to the Anglican communion, is the Church Lads' Brigade. Boys' and girls' life brigades are a more
recent
 
movement
 ; they teach
young
  people how to save life from fire and from water, and hold classes in
hygiene
 , ambulance and elementary nursing.
