Some of
these bear the imprint of John Taylor, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, 1826,
while the remainder bear the imprint of Wightman & Cramp, of Paternoster
Row, in the same year. Dr. Knapp only knew of the Taylor edition,
because that is referred to in the correspondence. Copies, however, of
the Wightman & Cramp edition are in existence, and the title-page will be
found reproduced with those of the first and second issue in the opening
pages of this volume. Borrow sent copies to Lockhart, and Cunningham
advised gifts to other reviewers; but not a single review of the book
appeared. Yet his subscription list "amply paid all expenses," as Borrow
states in a letter to Cunningham. That list reveals the fact that such
diverse persons as Dr. Bathurst, Bishop of Norwich, and Thurtell, the
murderer of Mr. Weare, were among the Norwich subscribers, while Benjamin
Haydon, John Timbs, and Thomas Campbell paid their half-guineas from
London. Thurtell, we may add, was hanged before the book appeared.
