The
tune
"Florida
was
composed
by
the
author.
He
was
born
1774
at
Winchester,
Conn.
He
was
one
of
the
old
pioneers
of
music
in
England.
Contemporary
of
Jenks
and
a
composer
of
popular
music
in
his
time.
He
died
at
the
place
of
his
birth
in
1861.
He
composed
two
tunes
in
this
volume,
Florida
and
America.
These
two
old
melodies
are
still
popular
with
a
great
many
people.
In
some
of
the
tune
books
they
spell
the
name
"Witmore,"
In
others,
"Whetmore,"
but
the
proper
way
to
spell
the
name
is
"
Wetmore."
This
tune

and

to
