Abstract

en_US This fat little book includes two parts: Aesop's Fables (I) and Fables (II). It is an earlier (even first?) edition of a work I had found earlier and have listed under 1870? This work, like that, will delight those tracking fable publication. A frontispiece from Weir introduces a book with Thomas James' 1848 introduction placed (Theddington Vicarage) but not signed. James' 203 fables in I (not acknowledged as his) are illustrated chiefly (solely?) by illustrations after James Tenniel (not acknowledged). Part II presents 114 fables (T of C at the rear) in a variety of textual and artistic forms. Many are signed J.N. (James Northcote), and the illustrations with them are those of Northcote's 1857 edition. There is a misprint on 251 of the second part: cvi for cxiv. Though this copy is in good to fair condition, some of its illustrations are not as definitively printed as one would want. Inscribed in 1893. The cover features a blindfolded figure among children.
