There are several variations in this edition as compared with one published simultaneously in America by Messrs. Houghton,
Mifflin & Co. of Cambridge, Mass. These variations are connected with Borrow’s attitude towards the British and Foreign Bible Society, Mr. Shorter having taken occasion to pass some severe strictures upon the obvious cant which characterised the Bible Society in its relations with Borrow. These strictures, although supported by ample quotations from unpublished documents, the London publishers, being a semi-religious house, persuaded the author to cancel.
