(Thomas Herbert) 1858 1927 Darlow, Thomas Herbert Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society Transcribed from the 1911, Hodder and Stoughton edition by David Price "Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society" by George Borrow is a collection of correspondences crafted in the early 19th century. This work illuminates Borrow's endeavors and experiences as he worked on translating biblical texts, particularly into the lesser-known languages of Mandchou and Tartar. The letters provide insight into his thoughts on linguistic challenges, cultural observations, and the socio-religious landscape of his time, demonstrating his passion for the dissemination of biblical texts across different cultures. The opening of this collection reveals Borrow's deep commitment to language and translation, as he shares his progress in acquiring the Mandchou language and critiques existing translations of biblical texts. Initially addressing Rev. J. Jowett, he expresses excitement over resources for learning Mandchou and discusses his desire to translate the Gospel into the language of the Gypsies. Through various letters, he details the practicalities of his mission, enlisting help from various individuals and navigating the complexities of language acquisition, all while maintaining a fervent dedication to his task of spreading the teachings of Christianity among diverse populations.
