Abstract
-
en_US
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 is excellent, and--by contrast with the 1860 book--they seem to be all here. A real treasure! Compared with the 1838 Fournier Ainé edition, this Volume II begins with Book 7, drops the three poems after the fables and the final table, and alters some engravings for an English audience. The pages 161 through 168 are bound out of order.
