[pp 1467-1493 from Cubbon - Bibliography, Vol 2, 1933]
From time to time, and more especially during the middle of the nineteenth century, when periodical literature printed and published in the Island enjoyed free postage to any part of the United Kingdom or abroad, a number of publications appeared with the imprints of local printers, but containing little or no reference to Manse affairs. At this time too there was a great output of tracts and journals for the propagation of Temperance principles, mainly from the offices o f Livesey, William Robinson, and Robert Fargher, and these are noted briefly in their proper dotal order; whilst the more important periodicals are also noted with a reference to the fuller description which is given under section L 6 [pp. 1181-1320].
THE SQUIB. An Epistle from a Gentleman in the Country, To his Friend in Town. Nemo me impune lacessit. Isle- of-Man : Printed in the Year, MDCCXLIII. 212x172 mms, pp. 24; J 8, 4047 (G. W. Wood).
On the title-page is the signature of 'Thos. Mitchell, August 3rd, 1777.' The epistle, written in verse, is a satire in condemnation of the vice and depravity of town life. The imprint is almost certainly false, there being no printing-press in the Isle of Man before 1767. 'The Squib' is not known to the British Museum Library, and does not appear in any of the bibliographies.
THE RIGHTS OF KINGS: Or, Monarchial Government defended. (By an Inhabitant of the Isle of Man.)
It is not known whether the work was ever actually printed. Our knowledge of it is from an advertisement in the Manks Mercury of Tuesday, 12 March, 1793, which stated that it would shortly appear 'provided a competent number of subscriptions can be procured, price 2s. 6d. British.'

BYRON, LORD. The Corsair, A Tale in Three Cantos. Douglas : Printed for the Proprietor by J. Penrice, Manx Rising Sun Office;
Published by L. Lane, at the Public Reading Room, North Quay; and Sold by the Principal Shopkeepers, 1825. 143x95 mms, pp.
72.
This most interesting item appears to be an obvious piracy. It is not known to the First Edition
Club, on behalf of which the publisher John Murray wrote to the compiler of this Bibliography: ` I never heard of the Isle
of Man edition of the Corsair before and am interested to hear that such a book exists. I think it must have been a piracy:
as you probably know many of Lord Byron's works were pirated in his lifetime or soon after- wards. An edition of the Corsair
was published in London in 1825 by W. Dugdale, 23 Russell Court, Drury Lane. This also extends to 72 pp. and is described
as 12 mo.'
Penrice's edition is also quite unknown to the British Museum Library. It was printed on Manx-made paper, having the watermark
of William Walker & Co., 'W. W. & Co.' above the date 1824. A facsimile of the title page is shown on p. 1451.
Lord Byron died in 1824, and the date of publication of the Manx edition of the Corsair was February 12th in the following
year. The Corsair had first appeared, printed by Thomas Davison, of Whitefriars, in 1814.

name). 150x95 rams, pp. 36. H 398, 5604 (W. Cubbon).
No other copy of this rather remarkable story seems to be in existence. The Fratricide, whose name is not given, belonged
to Whitehaven. It does not appear who the 'J. Hughes' was. In the last page is inscribed 'Ann Sayle her book.'

London : Published by J. Nisbet, 21 Berner's Street, 1831. 206x126 mms, pp. 92, H 398 (W. Cubbon).
Although not Manx-printed this work is included here on the strength of the author's connections with the Isle of Man. He was the son of General Wood, the grandson of John Wood who was Lieut.-Gov. of Man from 1761 to 1777. He was a soldier in India, and also fought in the ' Peninsula war, and later he served at St. Helena when Col. Mark Wilks w as Governor there. Lieut. Wood had two volumes of poetry printed, the first appearing in 1827 and the second in 1853 (see Bibliography p. 888). He was a capable musician and belonged to a Douglas society of amateur players as late as the seventies. He died on February 24th, 1874.
