With that I will deal when we come to Borrow's travels in the Peninsula.
Here it sufficeth to note that during the years of Borrow's most urgent need he seems to have found a kind friend if not a very zealous helper in the 'Old Radical' whom he came to hate so cordially. FOOTNOTES: [85] _Autobiographical Reflections of Sir John Bowring.
With a Brief Memoir by Lewin B.Bowring_.Henry S.King and Co., London, 1877. [86] _The Romany Rye_ Appendix, ch.
xi. [87] Kindly placed at my disposal by Mr.Wilfred J.Bowring, Sir John Bowring's grandson.
The rights which I hold through the executors of George Borrow's stepdaughter, Mrs.MacOubrey, over the Borrow correspondence enable me to publish in their completeness letters which three previous biographers, all of whom have handled the correspondence, have published mainly in fragments. [88] The manuscript of _The Death of Balder_ came into the hands of Mr. William Jarrold of Norwich through Mr.Webber of Ipswich, who purchased a large mass of Borrow manuscripts that were sold at Borrow's death, most of which were re-purchased by Dr.Knapp.His firm, Jarrold and Sons, issued _The Death of Balder, from the Danish of Johannes Ewald_, in 1889. [89] This and the previous letter are undated, but bear the careful endorsement of Dr.John Bowring, as he then was, with the date of receipt, presumably the day _after_ the letters were written. [90] 'PROSPECTUS It is proposed to publish, in Two Volumes Octavo Price to Subscribers L1, 1s., to Non Subscribers L1, 4s. THE SONGS OF SCANDINAVIA Translated by Dr.BOWRING and Mr.BORROW. Dedicated to the King of Denmark, by permission of His Majesty. * * * * * The First Volume will contain about One Hundred Specimens of the Ancient Popular Ballads of North-Western Europe, arranged under the heads of Heroic, Supernatural, Historical, and Domestic Poems. The Second Volume will represent the Modern School of Danish Poetry, from the time of Tullin, giving the most remarkable lyrical productions of Ewald, Oelenschlaeger, Baggesen, Ingemann, and many others.' This four-page leaflet contains two blank pages for lists of subscribers, who apparently did not come, and the project seems to have been abandoned. [91] The prospectus, already quoted, bears the imprint: Printed by Richard Taylor, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street..
