_Collation_--

Pp. 51. The Imprint, as above, is at the foot of p. 51. The Imprint (_T. Davison, Lombard-Street, Whitefriars_./) is at the foot of the Reverse of the Half-title.

_Note_.--The Text numbers 99 stanzas. Byron sent four additional stanzas, viz. stanzas xxviii., xxxviii., xxxix., lxxx., to Murray _circ._ March 9, 1818. A Second Edition of Beppo, _vide supra_, was published March 12, 1818, and the fifth, May 30, 1818. The intervening editions, third and fourth, were not advertised in the _Morning Chronicle_, _Morning Post_, _Courier_, and, in the absence of direct evidence, it may be conjectured that the additional stanzas first appeared in the Fifth Edition. A Sixth Edition, and a Seventh Edition identical with the Fifth Edition, were issued in 1818.
