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.

Who partook of her soup with a fork,
“If I eat it like that
I shall never get fat!”
Said this clever young lady of Cork.
