Note.
The various Poems and Prose Articles included in the above list, to which no reference is appended, have not yet been reprinted in any shape or form.
Query.
There exists a galley-proof of a Ballad by Borrow entitled The Father’s Return. From the Polish of Mickiewicz. The Ballad consists of twenty-one four-line stanzas, and commences “Take children your way, for the last time to-day.” This proof is set up in small type, and was evidently prepared for insertion in some provincial newspaper. This paper I have not been able to trace. Should its identity be known to any reader of the present Bibliography I should be grateful for a note of it.

*** In The Tatler for November 26, 1913, appeared a short story entitled The Potato Patch. By G. Borrow. This story was not by the Author of Targum. ‘Borrow’ was a mis-print; the name should have read ‘G. Barrow.’
