A LEADING LITERARY CRITIC
_wrote as follows to the Editor_: "As a friend and admirer of George
Borrow, I cannot resist the impulse to write and thank you for the good
service you are doing his memory, and the good service you are doing the
public, by the issue of your admirable edition of 'The Bible in Spain.'
This is a period of marvellously cheap reprints, but surely the 'Minerva
Library' leaves them all behind."
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The next cheap book is one of the famous books of the world. As to
the reception which this reprint of Borrow's 'Bible in Spain' is
likely to receive there can hardly be any misgiving."--THE ECHO.
"Lovers of good literature, and cheap, may be commended to the
'Minerva Library' edition of 'The Bible in Spain.'"--THE SATURDAY
REVIEW.
"That wonderfully interesting and too little known work 'The Bible in
Spain.' . . . Borrow's literary style is faultless, and his keen
powers of observation were employed to excellent purpose. With 400
pages and several illustrations, the volume is a striking
illustration of the cheap form in which our leading publishers can
serve up the best examples of English literature."--SHEFFIELD
