George Borrow and His Circle

CHAPTER IX
21/23

All the publications which fell under my notice I treated in a gentlemanly ...
manner--no personalities, no vituperation, no shabby insinuations; decorum, decorum was the order of the day.' And one feels that Borrow was not very much at home.

But he went on with his _Newgate Lives and Trials_, which, however, were to be published with another imprint, although at the instance of Phillips.

By that time he and that worthy publisher had parted company.

Probably Phillips had set out for Brighton, which was to be his home for the remainder of his life.
FOOTNOTES: [49] The few lines awarded to him in Mumby's _Romance of Bookselling_ are an illustration of this.
[50] _Memoirs of the Public and Private Life of Sir Richard Phillips, King's High Sheriff for the City of London and the County of Middlesex, by a Citizen of London and Assistants_.

London, 1808.
