George Borrow and His Circle

CHAPTER X
18/18

There is no reason to suppose that the individual, whoever he may have been, who prepared the 1864 edition of _Faustus_ for the Press, had ever seen either the German original or the French translation of Klinger's book.

It is clear that he 'conveyed' Borrow's translation almost in its entirety.
[63] Allan Cunningham, in a letter to Borrow, says, 'Taylor will undertake to publish.' But there must have been a change afterwards, for some of the London copies bear the imprint Wightman and Cramp.

In 1913 Jarrold and Sons of Norwich issued a reprint of _Romantic Ballads_ limited to 300 copies, with facsimiles of the manuscript from my Borrow Papers.
