Publication Details: Printed [by Gillet] for Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, 1819

Notes: Fourth issue: without Byron's name on the title-page, gathering 'A' reset to 23 lines to account for the removal of a slur on Mary Godwin and Claire Clairmont, and 'almost' corrected on p. 36. An agreeable copy in a contemporary binding. Pasted inside the front cover is an old bookseller's description, not identifying the issue, but asserting 'it is difficult to know who wrote this work' (though Polidori's name is given within square brackets).
