The present song is included in a long list headed "Millar's vocal music" available from several publishers and sellers, including Dalmaine [sic] and Co., at the end of 1837; see: The Bath Chronicle, December 21, 1837, page [2]. As Thomas D'Almaine (ca. 1776-1858) was trading in partnership with Sarah Dennis Goulding (ca. 1766-1843) until the end of September 1833, this print may predate the advertisement of December 21, 1837.
