_Borrow's Danish Ballads._--The singular author of _Lavengro_, Mr. Geo.

Borrow, some years ago published certain translations of Danish or other

northern ballads, with which I have never been able to meet. Can you or any

of your readers furnish me with the title of the book and publisher's name?

My curiosity respecting it has again been aroused somewhat strongly by the

account in _Lavengro_ of the way in which he began to study Danish. It

might afford a good lesson to all _young_ "philologers."

I presume that, at the mature age of "NOTES AND QUERIES," commonplace

compliments as to its usefulness and high general value, begin to be very

stale; but I cannot close without a hearty "God speed" to you in your

labours.
