Note

An operatic adaptation of Walter Scott's novel 'Guy Mannering' was first presented, under the title 'Guy Mannering, or, The gipsy's prophecy' on Tuesday 12th March, 1816 at Covent Garden. Music was supplied by five composers amongst whom were Bishop and Attwood. In January 1819, it was announced that Miss Stephens had "introduced the song of 'Donald,' accompanied only by the harp" during the performance of 'Guy Mannering' on Saturday 23rd January, 1819, and that this had "called forth a rapturous encore"; see: The London Packet and Lloyd's Evening Post, January 22-25, 1819, page [2].

Note

William Boag [senior] (died 29th November, 1815, aged 49), bookseller and music seller of no. 11, Great Turnstile, was succeeded in business by his son, William Boag [junior] (ca. 1796-1860). As Miss Stephens' performance of 'Donald' dates from 1819, it must be that William Boag [junior] was the publisher.
