Selective presentation here of:

-the original series, A Selection of Irish Melodies as published by William and/or James Power

(issues marking major stages in the collaboration or output of these publishing firms only)

Omittted here are:

- editions that cannot be disambiguated from the original series (lack of publisher)

- editions where there is ambiguity or uncertainty about the source tune used:  Mozart had a song "O fly not yet sweet bird of night" in circulation at the same time; song collections published in Kilmarnock, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Newcastle between 1815-1826 contain a "Fly not yet" of unverified tune; Joseph Dale's arrangement of "Fly not yet, why would'st thou go?", presents an incipit which does not match Moore's lyrics -- although it is styled as an "Irish Melody".
