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 young lady of Lynn,
Who was nothing but bones except skin;
So she wore a false bust,
For says she, “well I must,”
This degraded young creature of Lynn.
