Note

On the last page, an advertisement of extracts or arrangements available from the following operas: The bronze horse [1835] ; Lestocq [1834] ; Masaniello [1828] ; Gustavus the Third [1833] ; Le serment [1832] ; Le philtre [1831] / Auber. Guillaume Tell / Rossini [1829]. Quasimodo / Weber ; arr. G.H. Rodwell [1836]. The Lord of the Isles / G.H. Rodwell [1834]. Paul Clifford / G.H. Rodwell and Blewitt [1835].

Note

The "celebrated Song of Nelson, sung ... by Mr. Braham" was advertised as available from Goulding, D'Almaine, Potter and Co. in June 1811; see, The Star, June 11, 1811, page [1]. Thomas Potter died on 30th October, 1823. It appears, therefore, that this print must originally have been issued between 1811 and 1823. On the other hand, the operas, from which extracts or arrangements are advertised on the last page, date from the period: 1828-1836.
