In 1906 appeared the Life of Sir Richard Burton, by Thomas Wright of Olney, in two volumes, an industrious and rather critical work, interesting in particular for the doubts it casts on Burtons originality as an Arabic translator, and emphasizing his indebtedness to Paynes translation (i881) of the Arabian Nights.

Richard Burton was born on March 19, 1821, in the west of England into the family of a ne'er-do-well gentleman soldier and a putative descendant of an illegitimate son of Louis XIV. Soon the family moved to Tours, France, where Burton received a classical education. As a boy, he exhibited courage, derring-do, and a wavering self-control. When he was 10, Burton's family returned briefly to England. He went to school in Richmond, his days punctuated by fighting and wild escapades. Back in France and then in Italy, where Burton spent his adolescent years, his wildness was more characteristic than learning. Burton attended Trinity College, Oxford, from 1840 to 1842, when he was dismissed for disobedience. Entering the Indian army, he spent the next 7 years studying 11 languages (passing examinations in .....

(1821-1890) page: When Burton sought to assimilate an indigenous culture he threw himself into the local milieu , seeking the common man's life rather than upper class ways. This propensity of immersing himself among the lower classes gave rise to Burton's being referred to by his fellow Britons as the "White Nigger." After a long engagement, Burton married Isabel Arundel in 1861. Marrying a Roman Catholic afforded Burton yet another opportunity to affront English sensibilities, as did his publication of exotic sexual manuals and how-to books. Burton's marriage seems to have been happy, and his wife seems to have supported his scholarly works, including the famous translations. Sponsor Message. Throughout his career, Burton collected literature in its original language and translated it into English.

34. The Jew, The Gypsy And El Islam (v) Manuscript of an unpublished book by Sir Richard Burton and surrounding Archive of Christie s auction info Burton, Sir Richard Francis (18211890). http://www.jrbooksonline.com/jgei.htm

The Jew, the Gypsy and El Islam by Sir Richard F. Burton INFO re. THE FULL ORIGINAL MS. OF THE JEW IS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM HALF OF THIS PAGE Color scan of actual title page. Click on image for larger version. This is one of the two American editions. Published in 1898 as 3 books in one. Never reprinted by a large, mainstream publishing house; occasionally reprinted by small, independent publishers. However Jew-wise Burton may have been, he had a strange bias favoring Islamic practitioners and Gypsies. As per the Preface below, this could have been due to Gypsy blood, but this idea was never proved. Book I, The Jew , tho' heavily expurgated, retains much important information about its subject, as do the other two books. All known original editions were: Repaginated to put exactly two original pages onto each new page, except where impossible due to space constraints. In full text with frontispiece illustration. The 1898 editor was William Henry Wilkins (1860-1905). He also co-authored The Romance of Isabel Lady Burton , 1897 and edited Wanderings in Three Continents Minor erratum: In The Jew , ch. ii, p. 33, Wilkins has "732" as the year of the death of Muhammad, but the commonly accepted date today is 632.

35. The Life Story Of Sir. Burton Burton, Sir Richard Francis (18211890), British explorer, linguist, and studentof Asian cultures, one of the most famous mid-19th century European http://www.empereur.com/burton.html

The Life Story of Sir. Burton Burton, Sir Richard Francis (1821-1890), British explorer, linguist, and student of Asian cultures, one of the most famous mid-19th century European explorers of Africa. He is also known for his definitive translation of stories known under the title Arabian Nights and for his valuable travel literature on western Asia, Africa, and South America. Burton was born in Torquay, England, to an English army officer and his wealthy wife, the latter rumored to be descended from the French Bourbon kings. He was reared in France, England, and Italy and educated haphazardly along the way by tutors until he entered Trinity College, University of Oxford, in 1840. A headstrong young man, Burton preferred to study subjects that interested him-such as Arabic, philosophy, and mysticism-rather than the subjects in the standard curriculum. He was expelled from Oxford in 1842. II.TRAVELS IN ASIA AND ARABIA Deeply interested in Asian life and languages, Burton joined the army of the English East India Company in 1842 and served in Sind (what is now southern Pakistan) for seven years. During this time he traveled in Pakistan and western India, mixed with local people (sometimes passing as Asian in bazaars), and became increasingly familiar with local customs and proficient in several local languages as well as Persian and Arabic. These experiences set the stage for Burton’s pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca in 1853, which he made in the disguise of an Afghan physician. Burton became one of the first non-Muslims to enter Mecca. He sketched the central shrine, the Kaaba, and participated in all the rituals associated with the pilgrimage without being detected. These travels-which Burton described vividly in Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah (1855)-brought him fame throughout Europe.
