Abstract

en_US At last I have found my way back to a first edition of Northcote's first volume. The second volume was published posthumously in 1833. Northcote himself died in 1831. Compare this book with the second edition of 1829. The illustrations are again here remarkably sharp. Leather binding, with the spine beginning to separate at the top. The frontispiece is lacking. For a sample from this work, try Fable XLVIII on 125. Death summons an old man and upbraids him for not heeding his earlier warnings. The man cannot comprehend earlier warnings. Death mentions the deaths of the man's contemporaries and even of his children and repeats his demand that the man follow now. The tailpiece shows two men looking far out to sea with a telescope. Both illustrations are well executed, though in different styles.
