''Mounseer Nongtongpaw'' is an 1808 poem once thought to have been written by the Romantic writer Mary Shelley as a child. It is now believed that the author was theatrical writer John Taylor. The poem is an expansion of the entertainer Charles Dibdin's song of the same name and was published as part of eighteenth-century philosopher William Godwin's ''Juvenile Library''. A series of comic stanzas on French and English stereotypes, ''Mounseer Nongtongpaw'' pillories John Bull for his inability to understand French. It was illustrated by Godwin's friend William Mulready.
