[1] I have altered the dates given for the first and second numbers of Irish Melodies in accordance with Mr. Gibson's recent discoveries.--S.G.

[2] Copies of all the editions were exhibited, with the exception of Nos. 8, 11, 13, and 46.

[3] A copy of the second edition, 2 vols. 8vo., 1802, also was shown.

[4] These were only given as a selection.

[5] This edition ends at page 68. Copies of the first reprints, ending at page 51, also were exhibited.

It is to be understood that copies of the Dublin editions and the London editions (both copyright), up to the seventh number, were shown.

[6] A copy is in the British Museum.

[7] This is advertised in William and James Power's trade lists of the period. It is thus referred to in a letter from Moore to his mother, dated "Sat.u.r.day, May 1811":--"I have been these two or three days past receiving most flattering letters from the persons to whom I sent my Melologue." Kent, in his edition of "The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore," makes the "Melologue" an integral part of the "National Airs,"

and states the following in reference to the latter:--"Another collection of songs, not unworthy of being placed in companions.h.i.+p with the Irish Melodies, appeared from the hand of Moore in 1815." But the "Melologue" was produced in 1811, as has now been shown, and the first number of the "National Airs" did not make its appearance until 1818, while the last one was only originally published in 1827.

[8] A copy is in the British Museum.

[9] In the London edition the Advertis.e.m.e.nt is dated "Bury-Street, St.

James's, Nov., 1811," whereas in the Dublin edition it is dated "London,--January, 1812."
