Edition Notes
From an unidentified edition of Byron's works. Moses Thomas published several editions of The Giaour,: a fragment of a Turkish tale, between 1813 and 1816, as well as compilations of Byron's works. Eastburn, Kirk, and Co. also published several titles by Byron in 1814, but no listing for The Giaour or a compilation could be found. No publication with both publisher's listed jointly could be found, either.
