The almost general desire to have The Owl and The Pussy-cat, The Duck and The Kangaroo, in a distinct form from Mr. Lear's other Nonsense Drolleries, has induced us to issue them separately with Original Illustrations.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar,
O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!
Pussy said to the Owl, You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?
They sailed away for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
