Upon page 122 of _Romano Lavo-Lil_, is printed a version of _The Lord's
Prayer_ cast into Romany by Borrow. The original Manuscript of this
translation has survived, and its text presents some curious variations
from the published version. A reduced facsimile of this Manuscript
serves as Frontispiece to the present Bibliography.
Accompanying the Manuscript of _The Lord's Prayer_ in Romany, is the
Manuscript of a translation made by Borrow into the dialect of the
English Gypsies. This translation has never, so far as I am aware,
appeared in print. It is an interesting document, and well worthy of
preservation. A reduced facsimile of it will be found facing the present
page.

A Second Edition of _Romano Lavo-Lil_ was issued by the same publisher,
John Murray, in 1888, and a Third in 1905.
There is a copy of the First Edition of _Romano Lavo-Lil_ in the Library
of the British Museum. The Press-mark is 2278. c. 15.
