Description: Sources attribute the music of this toast to Thomas Linley, but are divided on the source of the words. Some give authorship to Linley's wife, others to his son in law, Richard Brinsley Sheridan (Sheridan and Linley had a fruitful partnership writing in the toast genre; "here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen" being their most enduring creation). Most probably written for a theatrical afterpiece (currently unidentified) this item achieved an unlikely audience and is recorded as often encountered in the 1830s and '40s amongst American whalers off Valparaiso.
