Excerpt from Lavengro and the Romany Rye A'kind of biography in the Robinson Crusoe style.' It is thus that Borrow, in 1844, described the book upon which he was then engaged - Lavengro. For a winter the book was advertised as I/i/e A Drama, and then the title was altered to Lavengro An Autobiography. The Work appeared in three volumes in 1851. The Sequel to Lavengro, appeared m 1857 in two volumes. It took forty years to sell seven thousand copies, so blind was the public of the last generation to one of the most brilliant of contemporary literary achievements, the charm of which is now acknowledged byall who love good literature.
