[Footnote 653: Lady Burton, owing to a faulty translation, quite mistook
Nafzawi's meaning. She was thinking of the concluding verse as rendered
in the 1886 edition, which runs as follows:--

"I certainly did wrong to put this book together,

Chapter xxxiv.]

[Footnote 654: An error, as we have shown.]

[Footnote 655: Mr. T. Douglas Murray, the biographer of Jeanne d'Arc and Sir
Samuel Baker, spent many years in Egypt, where he met Burton. He was on
intimate terms of friendship with Gordon, Grant, Baker and De Lesseps.]

[Footnote 663: She often used a typewriter.]

[Footnote 664: The same may be said of Lady Burton's Life of her husband. I
made long lists of corrections, but I became tired; there were too many.
I sometimes wonder whether she troubled to read the proofs at all.]

[Footnote 669: Preface to the 1898 Edition of Lady Burton's Life of Sir
Richard Burton.]

[Footnote 670: In her Life of Sir Richard, Lady Burton quotes only a few
sentences from these Diaries. Practically she made no use of them
whatever. For nearly all she tells us could have been gleaned from his
books.]

[Footnote 671: In the church may still be seen a photograph of Sir Richard
Burton taken after death, and the words quoted, in Lady Burton's
handwriting, below. She hoped one day to build a church at Ilkeston to
be dedicated to our Lady of Dale. But the intention was never carried
