[191d] He was authorised to purchase 600 reams at 60 reals per ream, whereas he paid only 45 reals a ream for a paper “better,” he wrote, “than I could have purchased at 70.”
[192a] Author of La Historia de las Córtes de España durante el Siglo XIX. (1885) and other works of a political character. He was also proprietor and editor of El Español. Isturitz had intended raising Borrégo to the position of minister of finance when his government suddenly terminated.
[192b] General report prepared by Borrow in the Autumn of 1838 for the General Committee of the Bible Society detailing his labours in Spain. This was subsequently withdrawn, probably on account of its somewhat aggressive tone. In the course of this work the document will be referred to as General Report, Withdrawn.
[192c] To Rev. A. Brandram, 14th Jan. 1837.
