Abstract
-
en_US
This fat little book 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. On the spine is Boys' and Girls' Fairy Library: Book of Fables. This had not been there on the 1860 edition. This copy is inscribed 1875. This book has changed the typesetting (but apparently not the text) on pages v and vi of the first part from what it was in the 1860 edition. There is still the misprint on 251 of the second part: cvi for cxiv.
