McLoughlin Brothers published this children's book in the 1800's. Illustrated by famous cartoonist and caricaturist Thomas Nast, best known for his political cartoons and depiction of Santa Claus, the rhyming story is a clever and hilarious ode to one of the supporting characters in Charles Dickens' first novel, The Pickwick Papers. The subject is Joe, servant of Samuel Pickwick's friend Mr Wardle, who owns a farm in Dingley Dell. Joe likes to eat. And sleep."Poor Joe was too fond of both eating and drinking -Of beef and plum pudding he always was thinking -Till over-indulgence at length made him dropFast asleep the first moment he came to a stop."

Author Josephine Pollard's beautifully illustrated children's book about the winter activities of a town was originally published circa 1886 by McLoughlin Brothers of New York. In this rhyming story, children go sledding and skating, build snowmen and have snowball fights. Everything becomes a sport. Even the adults in their fancy sleighs, or delivering milk, or hauling wood enjoy the winter season.
