Vedic Horoscope for Borrow, George Henry

British author and traveler who published a Gypsy Dictionary, and, in 1843, a book of his experiences in Spain. The son of a professional soldier, he led a wandering childhood, moving around the British Isles. At the Royal Grammar School in Norwich he began his study of languages, eventually becoming proficient in twenty. His own travels were extensive: rural England with gypsies and as an agent of British and Foreign Bible Society, he traveled to Russia, Portugal and Spain. His travel book, "The Bible in Spain," was three volumes and made him famous, followed by autobiographical novels and the dictionary of the Gypsy language.Sy Scholfield cites him quoted in "In the Footsteps of Borrow & Fitzgerald" by Morley Adams (Jarrold & Sons, 1900): "East Dereham ... Here it was that George Borrow first saw the light of day: 'On an evening of July, in the year 1 8 — , at East D , a beautiful little town in a certain district of East Anglia, I first saw the light.'" Scholfield speculates 7pm.
