The earliest appearance of this tune in print is in Preston's Twenty Four Country Dances for the Year 1798. Mr. Richer was a rope and circus dancer on the popular stage during the era when the character based (usually nautical) solo hornpipe was in vogue. He had celebrity in his day, and astonished audiences with his performances on the tight wire.
