Apart from my own books which I haven't looked at yet I've been using the listing thread and finding the books themselves online in most cases. I haven't got any copies of Davis and Tozer, but at the moment I'm only interested in the first edition of 1887. The only 2 on there I haven't yet identified by their title are Mobile Bay and Eight Bells. Can you tell me what they are better-known as please?

Did you manage to find which the 10 were added to the 3rd edition?

I have one or two seamen's yarns type books like Dana.

Most of the ones I haven't actually got copies of, the chanteys are easily identified by the title.

I now have copies of Chambers 1869, Pond, (inc. Adams). I haven't got a copy of Briggs 'Around cape Horn' but the only 2 on there I'm not sure about are 'Orenso' and 'Ship 'Neptune'. I haven't got Fowke's book on the Smith and Hatt Mss but am looking out for a copy. Do the mss have dates?

I'm just about to go searching online for the JAFL 1946 Taft article. Must be online I think.

Haven't got Bullen/Arnold which looks useful from the list of titles even though it's after 1900.

I might hold fire with my list until I've seen what Gibb has to say.

Regarding Pond/Adams I've been working out the probable dates when these chanteys were sung. In the case of Adams on the Dublin it must be about 1858. On the Rocket (as captain) would have been 1865. This from references in the text. He doesn't actually give any dates.

I still have a lot of work to do on it so you are probably much further on than me.
