Although the title page of the First Edition of _The Bible in Spain_ is
dated 1843, there can be no doubt that the book was ready early in the
preceding December. I have in my own library a copy, still in the
original cloth boards, with the following inscription in Borrow's
handwriting upon the flyleaf:

Autographed presentation copies of Borrow's books are remarkably few in
number, I only know of four, in addition to the above. One of these is
preserved in the Borrow Museum, at Norwich.

Of the First Edition of _The Bible in Spain_ One Thousand Copies were
printed. The Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Editions were all
published in 1843. By 1896 eighteen authorised editions had made their
appearance. Since that date the book has been re-issued in numberless
popular editions, and has been translated into various foreign languages.

The following verses made their first appearance in _The Bible in Spain_:
