I shall mention here, at the close of my book, the more important of the works which have been of service to me in its composition. The common experience, that every subject, however isolated its nature, drags a whole continent of literature after it, is in this case confirmed. I have already named all the historians—as Filippini, Peter of Corsica, Cambiaggi, Jacobi, Limperani, Renucci, Gregori, &c. I shall add to them, Robiquet's _Recherches Historiques et Statistiques sur la Corse_: Paris, 1835—a book rich in material, and to which I am indebted for valuable information. I have also used Niccolo Tommasco's _Lettere di Pasquale de Paoli_: Firenze, 1846; and the same author's _Canti Popolari Corsi_, in the collection of Corsican, Tuscan, and Greek popular songs. The dirges I have given are extracted from the _Saggio di Versi Italiani e di Canti Popolari Corsi_: Bastia, 1843. I owe the material of the Corsican stories—which are in no case fictitious—to a collection of such narratives by Renucci: Bastia, 1838; the treatment of the material is my own. The English Boswell's book—"Journal of a Tour in Corsica, with Memorabilia of Pasquale Paoli"—is worth reading, because the author was personally acquainted with the great Corsican, and noted down his conversations with him. I am, further, considerably indebted to Valery's _Voyages en Corse, à l'Ile d'Elbe et en Sardaigne_: Bruxelles, 1838. It is unnecessary to mention other works not specially relating to Corsica.
