The Rose tree; first line: A rose tree in full bearing, had sweet flowers fair to see.

This version of Yankee Doodle is attributed to Edward Bangs by S. Foster Damon. This edition is dated by Damon as no earlier than 1786 based on the fact that the Rose tree, taken from John O'Keeffe's comedy the Poor soldier, was performed for the first time in London in 1783, and in America in December of 1785.

Relief cut of soldier at left of title; text in two columns.
