The first is book burning. And the second is censorship. Actually they're equally reprehensible.

George Borrow led a nomadic life in England and on the Continent, where he was a translator and agent for the British and Foreign Bible Society. His friendship with the Gypsies, whose language he learned, resulted in The Zincali: an account of the gypsies of Spain (1841). Although his most famous book is The Bible in Spain (1843), his best is probably the autobiographical Lavengro (1851), with its sequel, Romany Rye (1857). (The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001)
