Abstract
The collection already had a copy of the nineteenth edition of 1816. Here is the twentieth edition from seven years later. And it cost exactly 12 cents more! As I wrote of that edition, a special feature of this schoolbook is a "numerical key adjoining to each line, directing to take the words in construing in a proper order." These numerical schemata next to each poem are quite unusual! There are also the notes of Peter Danet, for the use of the Dauphin, translated into English. Finally, there is a rather large "parsing index." As in the earlier edition, after 69 pages of text, the parsing index takes up 152 pages. That copy had lost its cover. This copy is losing its cover. Besides an AI in Latin at the beginning, there is an index of the theme of each fable in order on xi-xv. This seems very helpful, not least to students preparing for examinations. The book is, like its relative, quite frail.
