It is unique in plan and excellence, and I am greatly obliged to you for it.

Apart from the pleasure of the book, the form of it has always interested me as a professional biographer.

It certainly is novel; and in this case I am pretty sure that it is right.
With such a testimony before me I cannot hesitate to present my second biography in similar form.

In the case of George Borrow, however, I am not in a position to supplement one transcendent biography, as in the case of Charlotte Bronte and Mrs.Gaskell.I have before me no less than four biographies of Borrow, every one of them of distinctive merit.
These are: _Life, Writings, and Correspondence of George Borrow._ Derived from Official and other Authentic Sources.
