Year of Three Emperors

I have always been wondering where/how/why the expression "Year of the Three Emperors" was coined. Of course, there were five emperors in 69: Galba, Vitellius, Otho, Vespasian, and the little-known Sabinus. My theory is that it is a wink to the German Dreikaiserjahr. Does anybody have a reference to "Year of the Three Emperors" that predates 1888?
