Fables of La Fontaine / illustrated by J.J. Grandville ; translated from the French by Elizur Wright, Jr.

The English translation, in 2 v., has been interleaved with a separately paged 2 v. French edition, probably that of H. Fournier of 1839. The result is 4 v. of alternating English and French fables, with duplicated head-pieces but only one set of plates.
"I have procured some [impressions of the engravings] that were taken for the French edition of H. Fournier, in 1839 ..."--Publisher's preface, p. vi.
Does not include any French prefatory matter, nor additional poems found at the end of Fournier's ed.
Verso of t.p.: Stereotyped at the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry.
Index, v. 1, p. [xli]-xlvii. No French index.
