Steve Roud’s message (Tue, 21 Sep 1999) is confirmed and complemented by a
24-page pamphlet by Sean Murphy, The Mystery of Molly Malone, published at
Dublin in 1992 by Divelina Publications (price IR Pounds 2.50). The early
title of the song appears to be ‘Cockles and Mussels’. The pamphlet
includes a reprint of an early sheet-music edition in facsimile, and a
photo of ‘the statue’ against a background of the Provost’s House, Trinity
College. The author may be contacted at Divelina Publications, 30 Brighton
