Abstract
This long-lived little volume comes as a gift from old collector friends. It includes the first seven books of La Fontaine's fables in addition to the usual introductory material. It is very close, for these seven books, to a Coste edition I have published by the Widow Douladoure in Toulouse in 1793. Presumably, this book was the basis for that book. The plates are not the same, but the texts printed with them are. Where this book finishes Book VII on 184, that edition finishes it on 175. This book has a simple printer's design where that one presented a small rural scene on 1. It has the same notes at the bottom of almost every page. Paris in 1790 would have been a very interesting place….
