Abstract: en_US The frontispiece here has La Fontaine contemplating on the grounds of Versailles. The title-page illustration is of the schoolmaster lecturing the drowning child. This schoolmaster looks an awful lot like a Jesuit! He is wearing a soutane! There are four further intercalated pages, each offering two illustrations: 28, 63, 90, and 118. Maybe the best of these is 63, featuring MM and “The Cobbler and the Financier.” There is a lovely confusion: the pre-title-page has this as the third edition in 1825. The following proper title-page makes it out to be the fourth edition in 1824! Does Eymery’s calendar go backwards? Overall, there are 81 fables on 144 pages, followed by, first, “Philemon and Baucis”; secondly, six dialogues on the “beauties” of some of La Fontaine’s fables; thirdly, an essay on how to recite fables; and, fourthly, a comprehensive T of C. About 3¼” x 5”. Not in Bodemann. Our educational system would not be so focused today on reciting fables!
