Here is a small 3½ x 5¼ complete La Fontaine with a T of C at the back of 339 pages. It is hard to know what is meant by the promise Nouvelle édition, dans laquelle on aperçoit d'un coup d'oeil la moralité de la fable, ...

This tender little (3½x5¼) pamphlet of 30 pages is unusual for its excellent illustrations. Oval in form, they are 2¾ x 2. Several -- like DM (5), FG (25), and DS (28) -- are as detailed as a fine Bewick illustration. ...

This book seems to reproduce the 1927 edition almost verbatim. The only changes I can note are on the title-page. The colophon on the verso of the title-page still presents the license of 1827. See my comments there for ...

Wow! Here is a sturdy little book of Italian fables published in London and sold in New York! After a short preface, there are 205 numbered verse fables on 410 pages. At the back there is a T of C, organized, like the ...

First, there is this bad news: 195-201 are missing. This book uses apparently the same after Kirkall plates that were used in my Cowperthwait edition of 1850 and my 1840 edition of unknown origin. My test case for this ...

This book is in many respects similar to one I had found in 1993 at the Strand, dated 1835 from the same publisher with the same title. In fact, the title-page may be the same except for the year. That little book of the ...

Compare with the English translation (1879?) of this work. Excellent pictures here. No T of C or index. The 1837 illustrations come off strong here. The stories are as saccharin in German as in English. Here is a good ...

This is a lovely little book. Pages 13-14 are missing. Forty-seven fables full of explicitated lessons about what little children should do. If you look for a sense of how we wanted little kids to behave in the early ...

Perhaps the best feature of this book is the extensive French-German dictionary, including both difficult words and idioms. It is on 137-194. Otherwise it is a straightforward presentation of six books of fables, with ...

Compare with the earlier American Edition (1791/1813) of the same book. This edition offers the same thirty-one fables on 3-14, complete with extensive notes (131) and vocabulary (253), now in English since more enlightened ...
