[67a] Celebrated Trials and Remarkable Cases of Criminal Jurisprudence from the Earliest Records to the Year 1825. In six volumes. London: Printed for Geo. Knight & Lacey, Paternoster Row, 1825. Price £3 12 s. in boards.
[67b] The New and Complete Newgate Calendar or Malefactors Recording Register. By William Jackson. Six vols. 1802.
[67c] Cobbett and Howell’s State Trials. In thirty-three volumes and index, 1809 to 1828. The last volume, apart from the index, was actually published the year after Borrow’s Celebrated Trials, that is, in 1826; but the last trial recorded was that of Thistlewood in 1820. The editors were William Cobbett, Thomas Bayly Howell, and his son, Thomas Jones Howell.
[70] Another witness attained fame by her answer to the inquiry, “Was supper postponed?” with the reply, “No, it was pork.”
[79] Only thus can we explain Borrow’s later declaration that he had four times been in prison.

[80b] This with other documents I have presented to the Borrow Museum, Norwich.
[80c] In 1830 Borrow had another disappointment. He translated The Sleeping Bard from the Welsh. This also failed to find a publisher. It was issued in 1860, under which date we discuss it.
[91a] Keep not standing, fixed and rooted,
Briskly venture, briskly roam:
Head and hand, where’er thou foot it,
And stout heart, are still at home.
In each land the sun does visit:
We are gay whate’er betide.
To give room for wandering is it,
That the world was made so wide.(Carlyle’s translation.)
[91b] Through the will of his stepdaughter, Henrietta MacOubrey.
