        As with *Exiles* and *Dubliners*, the edition I have used is *The
Essential James Joyce*, the 1973 Penguin reprint of Jonathan Cape's
edition of 1948. As usual, I have corrected a good number of what
appeared to me to be obvious misprints, as well as the following:

Chapter 1. In the paragraph beginning: 'There was a cold night smell
in the chapel', JC has 'they were little cottages there ....', which I
have written as 'there were little ....'.

Chapter 2. In the paragraph beginning: 'Dublin was a new and complex
sensation', JC has '.... and the illdressed bearded policeman'. Surely
'policemen' - even in Dublin, the docks must have required more than
one.
        Mr Dedalus's *come-all-you* in the bedroom of the Victoria
Hotel, Cork ('Tis youth and folly') has, in the second verse, 'My love
she's bony'. This may well be, but I have substituted 'bonny'.

Chapter 4. In the third paragraph, JC has '....centuries of days and

Chapter 1

    Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow
coming down along the road and this moocow that was down along the
road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo ....
    His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a
glass: he had a hairy face.
    He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road where Betty
Byrne lived; she sold lemon platt.

                      O, the wild rose blossoms
                      On the little green place.

    He sang that song. That was his song.

                      O, the green wothe botheth.

    When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold. His
mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell.
    His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played on the
piano the sailor's hornpipe for him to dance. He danced:

                            Tralala lala,
                            Tralala tralaladdy,
                            Tralala lala,
                            Tral . . .
