DOWNLOAD EBOOKGeorge Borrow's 'Letters to the British and Foreign Bible Society' is a remarkable collection of letters that chronicle his journey as an agent of the Bible Society. These letters, addressed to Rev. J. Jowett, offer a glimpse into the mind of an eccentric man who dedicated his life to mastering languages and translating religious texts. In one such letter, Borrow discusses his progress in learning the Tartar dialect and shares his thoughts on the translation of St. Matthew's Gospel into Mandchou. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in linguistics, religious studies, or the history of Bible translation.
