Présentation de l'éditeur
Note The late Dr. W. I. Knapp s Life (J ohn Murray) and Mr. Watts-D unton sprefaces are the fountains of information about Borrow, and I have clearly indicated how much I owe to them. What I owe to my friend, Mr. Thomas Seccombe, cannot be so clearly indicated, but his prefaces have been meat and drink to me. I have also used Mr. R. A. J. Walling ssympathetic and interesting George Borrow. The British and Foreign Bible Society has given me permission to quote from Borrow sletters to the Society, edited in igii by the Rev. T. H. Darlow; and Messrs. T. C. Cantrill and J. Pringle have put at my disposal their publication of Borrow sjournal of his second Welsh tour, wonderfully annotated by themselves (Y Cymmrodor, 1910). These and other sources are mentioned where they are used and in the bibliography.
