Fables of La Fontaine
(Edward MoxonTappan and Dennet, 1841)
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 of La Fontaine
(Tappan and DennetWilliam A. Coleman, 1841)
I had thought at first that this was an extra -- in very poor condition -- of the apparent first edition. On closer inspection, the year is still that of the first edition, but this is clearly marked Second edition. The ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
As I wrote of the first volume, I had thought at first that this was an extra -- in very poor condition -- of the apparent first edition. On closer inspection, the year is still that of the first edition, but this is ...
Fables of La Fontaine: Two Volumes in One
(Bazin & Ellsworth, 1858)
I am happy to land this stated Fifth Edition of Elizur Wright's work. The only date apparent here is the 1842 on the verso of the title-page, indicating a date of entry into the clerk's office of the district court of the ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)

Fables of La Fontaine, 4th ed.
(Sanborn Carter & Bazin,, 1856)
The plates here are those of my sixth edition Tappan and Dennet from 1843, with larger margins and a double line framing each page. See my comments there. I have no idea what Fourth Edition means on the title-page here, ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(H.M. Caldwell Co., 1881)
This handy-sized edition of the Wright translation of LaFontaine with frontispiece of La Fontaine and three illustrations has a curious place in the history of Wright editions. Apparently it reproduces the preface and ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 4th ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. The best of them is of the squealing pig on the way to slaughter (71).
