CREATED/PUBLISHED
March 16, 1872
NOTES
Pages 112 and 115 contain "The Waggawock" quoting the original "Jabberwocky" from Through the Looking-Glass and adding the imitation "Waggawocky" which begins "'Twas Maytime, and the lawyer coves/ Did gibe and jabber in the wabe…." The piece makes "best ackowledgements to Lewis Carroll, author of the delightfullest fairy lore extant, for the idea of a Mysterious Monster." Page 113 contains the full-page illustration by Tenniel with caption "The Monster Slain," and sub-caption "And Hast Thou Slain The Wagge-Wock?/ Come To My Arms, My Beamish Boy! (Vide "The Jabberwock," in Through the Looking-Glass." The parody concerned the Tichborne claimant, discovered by an attorney in Wagga Wagga, Australia. Tenniel depicted the attorney as being slain by Truth and Justice.
