Abstract

en_US
Hobbs gives 1860 as the date of the first edition of this work, by Routledge. Might this be it? The book is slightly larger in format than my 1861 Harper & Brothers edition. See my notes there. This edition features FK on its cover, with some lovely gold embossing. The pages show some finger and dampstain soiling, but I find the book and especially the lovely Weir illustrations in good condition. Among the best illustrations are CJ (frontispiece and 19), DS (11), The Eagle and the Fox (57), TB (91), The Dog, the Cock, and the Fox (179), and The Kid and the Wolf (209). There is a list of illustrations at the front and an AI at the back. A quick search does not reveal the source of the texts.
