n the fly-leaf was... THE ZIN-CALI OR AN ACCOUNT OF THE GYPSIES OF SPAIN WITH AN ORIGINAL COLLECTION OF THEIR SONGS WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS AND A COPIOUS VOCABULARY OF THEIR LANGUAGE EXPLAINED IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH BY G. B. IN TWO VOLUMES. Footnotes: {137} Friday, or the day of Crucifixion. {153} Almost all other articles in Madrid are proportionably dear. {154} Amat's Bible sells for 4 dollars. {197} The Spanish sheet is but one-fourth the size of the English. {251} This animal cost the Society about two thousand _reals_ at Madrid; I, however, sold him for three thousand at Corunna, notwithstanding that he had suffered much from the hard labour which he had been subjected to in our wanderings in Galicia, and likewise from bad provender. {256} I have since discovered that they were only despatched the day before my arrival at Madrid. {274} I think the sale is becoming brisker; this very day we have sold eight. {275a} I wish much that I had the Old Testament apart, precisely in the same form. {275b} Mr. Villiers has hitherto taken but 50 copies, which he has distributed amongst his friends; his situation has been such lately, that more could not be reasonably expected from him. Even his is not a bed of roses. {392} [Greek text] as Antonio says. {422a} I send the original phrase which is remarkable, and in remarkable Spanish. {422b} They were supplied six months ago. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LETTERS OF GEORGE BORROW*** ******* This file should be named 603.txt or 603.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/6/0/603 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
