The New Book of Nonsense was published for sale at the Philadelphia Great Central Sanitary Fair, which ran from June 7 to June 29, 1864. It is an imitation of Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense.
Transcript:
There was a stout lady of Boston,
Whose clothes looked as if they were tossed;
But her boots were so tight, that to get them on right,
They had to be taken and forced on.
