Image not available
- Description
- Brief biographical article about Sir Richard Burton, originally published in Truth in 1881. The article, given no byline, is slightly critical in tone regarding its subject. The final page includes an appendix, a response to the article written by Isabel Burton, addressing the author as "Mistress Truth." The letter, dated June 29 [1881], takes issue with the article's questioning of how Sir Burton came to have a scar on his cheek. Appendix taken from Truth issue July 7, 1881.
