The copyright deposit in the Library of Congress is dated March 10, 1864. However, it does not bear the original magazine pagination which appears on this copy. The copies with the magazine pagination are considered earlier editions than the copyright deposit.
On the second music page, third bracket, first measure of melody, the fourth note is "D". In later editions this note is changed to "A", although the original slur between the third and fourth notes is still faintly visible.
