A Volume of Nonsense

DEAR MURRAY,--You ask for a "Volume of Nonsense,"Have all of your authors exhausted their store?I thought you had published a good deal not long since.And doubtless the Squadron are ready with more.But on looking again, I perceive that the SpeciesOf "Nonsense" you want must be purely "facetious;"And, as that is the case, you had best put to pressMr. Sotheby's tragedies now in M.S.,Some Syrian SallyFrom common-place Gally,Or, if you prefer the bookmaking of women,Take a spick and span "Sketch" of your feminine He-Man.
