Abstrakt: The death of Peter Borsay towards the end of last year was both untimely and unexpected. Richard Rodger recalls that Peter Borsay was the first person I appointed to the Editorial Board in 1987 when I assumed the Editorship of the I Urban History Yearbook. i Calm, highly organized, and an insightful scholar of the highest order, Peter assumed the responsibility to produce a yearly review of periodical literature covering the period 1500-1800. At Lampeter, Peter met Anne Howard, a historian of medicine: their marriage was a partnership that was both personal and academic, finding common ground in the fertile territory of Bath's medical and social history. Peter's final book I The Discovery of England 1840-1949 i was completed in draft before his death and it is hoped that the publishers will find some way of bringing it to publication posthumously.
