1836, James White, 
The adventures of Sir Frizzle Pumpkin, Nights at mess, and other tales 
 
"I heard old Jenkins, scarcely 
recovered from the effects of his potations, 
hilloaing at the top of his voice for Julia."

"Again, we owe to Cruikshank our knowledge of "The Adventures of Sir  
Frizzle Pumpkin; Nights at Mess; and Other Tales" (1836), a work of which I 
will  
only say that its anonymous narrative of good luck in cowardice won a smile 
from  one of the most lovable of poets on the day she died."
 
""Adventures (The) of Sir Frizzle Pumpkin; Nights at Mess; and  Other
Tales. With illustrations by George Cruikshank" (William Blackwood  &
Sons, Edinburgh; and T. Cadell, Strand, London, 1836. The author is  Rev.
James White)."
