The tune was first published by John Watlen in his Celebrated Circus Tunes (Edinburgh, 1791), and retained for his second edition of 1796. It was also reprinted in 1796 by Glasgow publisher James Aird, along with several other tunes from Watlen's collection, without credit to the source. The march was included in the music manuscript collections of John Rook (1840, Waverton, Cumbria) as "Favorite Slow March (A)," and Joshua Gibbons (1823, Tealby, Lincolnshire) as "Hornsby's March."
