James Parton (1822-1891) was born in England but grew up in America where he was the most popular biographer of his day. He collected "really excellent humorous poetry, of the kinds universally interesting, untainted by obscenity, not marred by coarseness of language, nor obscured by remote allusion" available in 1856.
