Tommy Thumb's Song Book (1815)
by Nurse Lovechild

This work was first published in London by Mary Cooper in 1744. It is the oldest known collection of English nursery rhymes in existence, though none of its original print run has survived. The identity of Nurse Lovechild is not known, but some historians believe that the work may have been put together by Mary Cooper herself.
