Fables Amusantes Avec Une Table Particulière des Mots et de leur Signification en Anglois
(Publié par E. Duyckinck, 1829)
This is my sixth different copy of this little book. Chronologically, it fits fifth of the six. It seems most similar to the Baltimore edition of 1823. It follows the general pattern of American editions set by the ...
A Selection of One Hundred of Perrin's Fables Accompanied with a Key
(Blanchard and Lea, 1853)
I have copies of this book from 1832, 1840, and 1842. The latter two copies were published by Lea and Blanchard. This 1853 copy is published by Blanchard and Lea. I will bet there is a curious story behind that change ...
A Selection of One Hundred of Perrin's Fables Accompanied with a Key.

A Selection of One Hundred of Perrin's Fables Accompanied with a Key
(Lea & Blanchard, 1832)
This copy differs from the copy I have marked 1832/40 in very few ways: by the year on the title page, by a slightly different format on the bottom of the title page, and by the listing of a printer on the back of the ...
Fables Amusantes
(T. et W. BradfordThomas and William Bradford, 1804)
140 fables in French in the upper half of each page, with word-by-word English vocabulary in the bottom half. Beginning AI. Good condition. A short introduction expresses homage to LaFontaine and points to the colorful ...
Fables Amusantes Avec Une Table Générale et Particulière des Mots et de leur Signification en Anglois
(Chez P. Wogan, 1801)
My earliest edition to date had been an 1804 edition from Philadelphia. This edition from Dublin follows the format known from that volume. I note several differences. The preface here starts one paragraph with J'ai ...
