'The Bible in Spain' by George Borrow; [1841-1842].
1. Draft of part of vol. I, chapter XVII, written on both sides of five quarto leaves of grey laid paper. Watermark '1840' and figure of Britannia. The final text found in the draft differs in a few places only from that printed in vol. I, pp. 345-362, l. 2. ff. 31-35b.
2. Part of a fair copy of a treatise on the Arabic language, written on both sides of two conjoined octavo leaves of white wove paper; circa 1830. Watermark 'W Joynson / 1828'. Apparently unpublished. The pages have been numbered by Borrow as follows: f. 36a: '3'; f. 36b: ['4'?] deleted; f. 37a: '4' emended from '[ ]'; f. 37b: '5'. ff. 36-37b.
3. Draft of part of vol. III, chapter xi, written on both sides of one quarto leaf of grey laid paper and on one side only of another. Watermark figure of Britannia. The final text found in the draft differs in a few places only from that printed in vol. III, p. 191, l. 10-195, l. 18. ff. 38-39.
4. Draft of a discarded passage, written on one side only of a quarto leaf of grey laid paper. Watermark figure of Britannia. The passage concerns the procuresses of Seville, and was possibly intended for vol. III, chapter xi. f. 39b.
