Fables de la Fontaine dédiées a la Jeunesse
(Chez Gerard Fischer le CadetChez Gerard Fleischer le Cadet, 1802)
This stocky little volume reproduces, one year later, Le Prieur's Paris edition. Here the three volumes (I-VI, VII-IX, X-XII) are bound together with fresh paginations and clear dividing points. As Bodemann (#191.2) ...
Fables (1860): Jean de La Fontaine
(General Books LLC Publication, 1860)
Perhaps copied from the second volume of an 1860 edition by Derby and Jackson, which I have in one volume purchased from First Folio of Buchanan, TN, in June, 1988. Becoming acquainted with this publication has been ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1838)
At first this seemed a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may be Bodemann #287.1, the first printing ...

As I wrote for Volume I (1838?), this volume seemed at first a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may ...

Fables for the Frivolous (With Apologies to La Fontaine)
(Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1899)
A real find. Maybe the best wit goes into the titles, like The Precipitate Cock and the Unappreciated Pearl. The wit in the rhyming texts sometimes gets lost in particulars unknown to us. The Confiding Peasant and the ...
LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This book, with nice color work and damaged spine, is best compared with two pairs of books catalogued under 1871 and 1871/75 respectively. Like the 1871 copies, it has no indication of publisher on the title page. Like ...
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 ...

(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 ...
