"Note by publisher: 'This song was supposed to have been written by a prisoner of war, on board the British fleet, on the morning after the unsuccessful bombardment of Fort McHenry, in the second war with England, declared in the year 1812. This copy of the words is authentic, as it was submitted to the Author; and revised and corrected by him a few months previous to his death which occurred in 1843.'"--P. [3].
