While these numbers are certainly not representative of the music that was published in Britain or outside of the British Empire during the First World War, they do give a sense of the general trends in Canadian music publication. Figures 1 and 2 show raw numbers: songs that are present in multiple copies have been counted multiple times. Those songs that could not be securely dated have not been included in these two graphs. In the Figure 3 (and in the written analysis of these songs), songs that are present in multiple copies have been counted only once.
