(Imprimerie de l'Institut LazarewIzdanīe Andrei͡a Glazunava s Bratʹi͡ami, 1840)
This is an otherwise straightforward presentation of La Fontaine's twelve books of fables with a T of C at the back following La Fontaine's epitaph with a design of its own. The two noteworthy features of the volume are ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Part II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This book continues the first half of Volume I by covering Books IV through VI of La Fontaine's fables. It thus becomes Part II of four parts. This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought it ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Part I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought it would be a worthy second copy of the original Tappan and Dennet publication of Wright's translation of La Fontaine. I remembered the printing ...
Fables of La Fontaine

A magnificent pair of volumes! The pagination is exactly the same as in the Derby and Jackson edition (1860) that describes itself as two volumes in one. There is some staining of the pages. The printing of the illustrations ...

Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 6th ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely small fancy edition, with marbled boards and gilt on spines. It seems at first identical with the fourth edition of the same year, but a closer look reveals a wonderful surprise. Wright replaces the Notice of ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 6th ed., Vol. II

A lovely small fancy edition, with marbled boards and gilt on spines. See my comment on Volume I for the surprising changes from the fourth edition. In this volume Party Strife is substituted for The Wives' Secret (8.6) ...
