The Fables of La Fontaine II
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
This is the second of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers in excellent condition. It combines the final two volumes of the set of four which I found at Goodspeed's in March, '89, except that this edition ...

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)

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) ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(James Miller Publisher,, 1879)
This book uses the same text plates as that published in the same year by Thomas Knox. This book cleans up some of that book's errors noted in my comments there. It adds many full-page unpaginated illustrations after ...

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 ...
