Following Crace, the British Museum online catalogue (registration no.: 1880,1113.2126) suggests a publication date of 1826. However, the reference in the title to "the late Duke of York" suggests a date following his death in 1827, while the further reference to the house still being under construction ("now erecting") suggests a date before its completion in 1838.
