From the U.S.A.:

The New-Yorker (June 5, 1841):

"Then...shall the minstrel sing 'Bonaparte crossing the Rhine'!"


The Knickerbocker Magazine (October, 1848):

"The 'Lines for Fire Company Number Five'...to the tune of 'Bonaparte crossing the Rhine.'" [Interestingly, the "Lines" don't scan to either of the tunes we've been discussing.]


Godey's Magazine (Philadelphia) (March, 1849):

"Ain't that a sweet strain? Don't that put you in mind of 'Bonaparte crossing the Rhine'?"



Dwight’s Journal of Music (Oct. 13, 1860):

“True, my daughter can play many fine pieces, but she does not yet know ‘Bonaparte’s crossing the Rhine.’”



Kamba Thorpe, "Four-Oaks: A Novel" (1867):

"So the audience was regaled with 'Love Not Quickstep,' 'Jenny Lind Polka,' 'Life on the Ocean Wave,' 'Bonaparte crossing the Rhine.'"
..."Miss Dalrymple earned her share [of ice-cream] by performing that miserable old tune, 'Bonaparte crossing the Rhine.'"
