from the Committee of the Bible Society the loan of the letters which
are here published, and introduced considerable portions of them into
that most picturesque and popular of his works. Perhaps one-third of
the contents of the present volume was utilised in this way, being
more or less altered and edited by Borrow for the
purpose."--[_Preface_, pp. ix-x].
