Individual Biography
Borrow, George. 92 B639D
Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society,
published by direction of the committee; ed. by T. H. Darlow. 1911.
Hodder.
In 1833 Borrow was appointed an agent of the Bible Society. His first duty, the
translation of the New testament into the Manchu language, took him to St. Petersburg.
In 1835 he was transferred to Portugal and Spain, where for five years he was
engaged in distributing translations of the Bible. During this time he addressed to the
Bible Society a remarkable series of letters, which were found in 1899, after having
been for many years mislaid, and which are now published for the first time. The letters
have great autobiographical value.
