London: Robert John Bush, 1872. First edition of Lear's fourth book of nonsense verse, botany, and abecedaria; 8vo, pp. [286]; 138 full-page illustrations of Lear's line drawings and accompanying limericks; original pictorial ochre cloth stamped in gilt and black on upper cover, gilt-stamped spine; neatly recased, yellow glazed endpapers renewed; nice copy of an otherwise fragile book. With three sectional titles, as issued: Nonsense Botany (12 plates); One Hundred Nonsense Pictures and Rhymes (100 plates); Twenty-Six Nonsense Rhymes and Pictures (26 plates). Noakes 83c: "Although the following summer [1870] he again mentions working on the book, within a few weeks he had written the first of his Nonsense songs, and these first appeared in Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets, 1871. Lear had originally intended that the songs and limericks should be published together, but Bush advised holding the limericks over for a separate publication the following year."
