    Fables of La Fontaine, 6th ed., Vol. I 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (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 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
    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 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (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 ...

    Fables of La Fontaine 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (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, Two Volumes in One 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Tappan and Dennet; NY: Willliam A. Colman/London: Edward Moxon, 1841)
    My brother John and I parked in front of this shop at almost exactly 6 p.m. to visit another store in Sonoma, which turned out to be closed by then. Upon our return to Chanticleer, they announced that they were closed, ...

    Fables of La Fontaine 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Thomas R. Knox & Co., 1879)
    A very curious book. Compare it with my 1841 and 1860 editions of Wright's translation that use Grandville as illustrator. The surprises start when Book I's title page comes before the book's title page! The 240 or so ...

    The Fables of La Fontaine (Flowered Cover) 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (H.M. Caldwell Company, 1881)
    This book repeats in all but two respects an edition with the same bibliographical information. First, it has a lovely floral cover, part of which is done against a white leatherette background. Secondly, the H.M. Caldwell ...

    The Fables of La Fontaine 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (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. 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (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, ...
