Arabic numerals.
Beyond that upon the title-page there is no imprint. There are also no
signatures, the pamphlet being composed of a single sheet, folded to form
sixteen pages. The last leaf is a blank. The book was issued without
any half-title.

Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The leaves measure 9.75 x 6.25
inches.

One Hundred Copies only were printed.

A reduced facsimile of the Title-page of _The Talisman_ is given
herewith. It will be observed that the heavy letterpress upon the
reverse of the title shows through the paper, and is reproduced in the
photograph.

NOTE.--The whole of the poems printed in _The Talisman_ appeared there
for the first time.

In 1892 Messrs. Jarrold & Sons published page for page reprints of
_Targum_ and _The Talisman_. They were issued together in one volume,
bound in light drab-coloured paper boards, with white paper back-label,
and were accompanied by the following collective title-page:

_Targum_: / _or_, / _Metrical Translations from Thirty Languages_ / _and
Dialects_. / _And_ / _The Talisman_, / _from the Russian of Alexander
Pushkin_. / _With Other Pieces_. / _By_ / _George Borrow_. / _Author of_
"_The Bible in Spain_" _&c._ / _London_: / _Jarrold & Sons_, 3,
_Paternoster Buildings_.

In 1912 a small 'remainder' of _The Talisman_ came to light. The 'find'
consisted of about Five Copies, which were sold in the first instance for
an equal number of Pence. The buyer appears to have resold them at
progressive prices, commencing at Four Pounds and concluding at Ten
Guineas.

There is a copy of the First Edition of _The Talisman_ in the Library of
the British Museum. The Press-mark is C.57.e.33.
