What book or nursery rhyme has the phrase "A pint's a pound, the whole world round"?

Dear lda56-ga 

I do not believe that it appears in a children?s nursery rhyme book.
It is a very old rhyme to help one remember weights and volume. The
rhyme is mostly written as ?A pint's a pound, the world around?.

I have found reference to it as early as 1882 in the Times newspaper,
UK. I  cannot trace its origin. I suspect that may not be possible.

This is one modern reference.
?Note that a pint is 16 ounces of volume, while a pound is 16 ounces
of weight. The popular rhyme "A pint's a pound, the world around" can
help you remember this, but keep in mind that they're not really
equivalent.?

hand-side of this search page from amazon.com
