Abstract

en_US This book is an inexpensive reprint of the Routledge first edition of the book with the same title in 1860. See my comments under 1860? It looks to me as though the publisher simply bought or rented the illustration plates from Routledge. Weir's signature is on the illustrations, and he is acknowledged on the title-page. The plates for the text-pages are new and different from those in both the Routledge edition and the 1861 Harper & Brothers edition. See my comments there too. This edition shares with the Routledge edition the illustration of FK on the cover. It shows up much better there against a red background than here against blue. Again among the best illustrations are CJ (frontispiece and 19), The Eagle and the Fox (57), TB (91), The Dog, the Cock, and the Fox (179), and The Kid and the Wolf (209). Besides the list of illustrations at the front there is an AI at the back. The margins are very small in this 5½ x 6¾ book. Pages 11-12 are missing. The book once belonged to a Maria Immaculata Academy.
