The rhyming of "Plymouth" with "south" smacks of conscious archaism, but I'm no expert on this.

Oddly, the Newcastle Journal credits Bell & Dixon, which had recently been published.

In Lloyd's note on "Talcahuana Girls," "countless" means one or two, and "belongs to" means "should have been sung by but wasn't."
