Finding Borrow

This article focuses on the book "George Borrow," by Samuel Milton Elam. In this biography, Elam says is based on what Borrow wrote of himself, and one wonders at Mr. Elam's choice of subject. There is so little love in this labor. It would be difficult to upset the facts that Mr. Elam selects as evidence of salient qualities in Borrow's character. Borrow was an amateur philologist despite his genuine feeling for language. He was a doubter, though he sold the Bible for profit. When he knocked his man out, it was by accident; and when he made love, it was by innuendo in Armenian.
