    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, I, I 

    Gibbs, J. W. M; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
    This first of the four books has a separated front cover. There is an excellent introduction to Wright and an account of his editions, including the five fables he wrote to be included in the place of expurgated material ...

    Gibbs, J. W. M; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
    No title page for this second half of Volume II. It begins with the last two fables of Book IX. Plates 224/223, 244/243, and 246/245 are out of order. The best illustrations here are of the spider and the swallow (#215), ...

    No title page for this second half of Volume I. Plates 71/70 and 135/134 are out of order. The best illustrations here are of the frog and rat (#84) and of the sick lion and the fox (#131). Vivier's animal anatomy ...

    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, 3rd ed., Vol. II 

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

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (translator) (Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
    Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. The notice says that the warm reception of Grandville's illustrations in the 1841 original was expected, but the favor accorded ...
