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.
