It sold in New York in 2006 in poor condition for about $65,000. The first appearance of the poem in book form was in an anthology, The New-York Book of Poetry (New-York: 1837). Moore’s Poems is much rarer than The New-York Book of Poetry and is the desired first edition since it contains only Moore's poems. "Moore, a professor of Hebrew, wrote this poem in 1822 as a Christmas gift for his children. A houseguest copied it in the fall of 1823, and later sent her copy to the editor of the Troy Sentinel, where it was first published, anonymously, December 23, 1823. It first appeared between covers in the New Brunswick, (N.J.) Almanack, for 1825.Calculated by Joshua Sharp, Philadelphia and New Brunswick, [1824]. It was quickly picked up by Readers and Anthologies, some of the more notable appearances being in The New York Book of Poetry, 1837, and in Bryant’s Selections from the American Poets, New York, 1840. The authorship was first disclosed in the Troy Budget, December 25, 1838" (Grolier, 100 American). BAL 14348. Grolier, 100 American, 52.
