BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

So far as the prose works published in Melville's lifetime are concerned, the following note is based upon the bibliography compiled by Mr. Michael Sadleir, and printed in Vol. XII. of the Standard Edition of Melville's works. My thanks are due to Mr. Sadleir for permission to draw upon his bibliography.
