Most of the scores in the Miss Margaret Hazlitt volume of music have watermarks in the paper dating from 1811-1817. It is probable that the scores were published between 1811 and 1822. Margaret Hazlitt also wrote her name and 1817 on a number of scores in this volume.
British Library has dated this music approximately 1806. Dating confirmed by Music entries at Stationer's Hall by Michael Kassler.
