The Assemblée Nationale will be the most variegated meeting that ever assembled. The earliest occurrence of the phrase that I have found is from The Morning Post (London) of Tuesday 2 nd May 1848, which published a report from its correspondent in Paris during the French Revolution and the creation of the French Second Republic: Have you applied to your butcher, to your baker, to your grocer, to your green-grocer? What!” surveying Gipps with surprise, “are you not aware that gentlemen, when they want servants, refer themselves to these purveyors, as, in like manner, when servants want places, they also refer to them?” Jackson “have you, I repeat, applied to your butcher,-to your baker-pshaw! absurd! I was about to say to your candlestick-maker? Let me correct myself. “What in the name of Newgate Market,” thought he, “can ‘my butcher,’ who cuts up beeves and sells them in detail, have to do with housekeepers in their integrity?” “Well, sir, and have you made application to your butcher?” “A comfortable body, certainly,” said Gipps “a comfortable body.” Well, sir, you want a respectable woman-a highly respectable woman-what I should call a comfortable body.” Jackson, a gentleman, by the by, whose narrow width of wisdom was eked out by a vast selvage of important gravity, “you want a housekeeper. Jackson out accordingly, and made known his wants and wishes-his doubts and his difficulties, Jackson, a gentleman who had seen a vast deal of the world, and under whose ken housekeepers, without doubt, must frequently have come?

How to get a housekeeper? Gipps had no more notion of the process by which so desirable an acquisition was to be procured, than he had of the method of calculating by fluxions. The earliest allusion that I have found to the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker is from Wanted-a Widow, a short story by the English poet, novelist and dramatist Charles Whitehead (1804-62), published in Bentley’s Miscellany (London) of March 1841: The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker, the Butcher the Baker the Candlestick Maker, and all of them gone to the Fair.ġ The nursery rhyme is titled Rub a dub dub on the front page, whereas Dub a dub dub is used as the title and in the lyrics inside the booklet.Ģ James Hook (1746-1827), English composer and organist Hook 2 (London, 1798):ĭub a dub dub, dub a dub dub, three Maids in a Tub, three Maids in a Tub, and who do you think was there, there, the Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker, the Butcher the Baker the Candlestick Maker, and all all all all all of them gone to the fair. This phrase alludes to the following nursery rhyme, first published in Second Volume of Christmas Box Containing the Following Bagatelles for Juvenile Amusement: High ding a ding, Christmas comes but once a Y r, Little Tom Tucker, Little Robin Red-breast, Rub a dub dub 1, I’ll sing a Song of Sixpence, Little Boy Blue, Gooseberrys Grow on an Angry Tree, When I was a Little Boy, Robin a Bobin a Bilberry Hen, There was an Old Woman living, There were Two Blackbirds. The phrase the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker denotes people of various trades or businesses, considered collectively it has also come to denote anyone at all.
