Abstract
I bought this and a second two-volume reprint to complement the three volumes that we bought of the first edition from 1744. I notice that original volumes of Fossati's six are selling these days for about $1.750, and very few are available. So I am happy to complete our set with these high quality reproductions from Classic Reprints. Only the cover and the first page betray that these are reprints. Otherwise we get what the original has to offer. The illustrations are better done than in most reprints these days. It strikes me that not only the stories but also the visual framework of the illustrations is highly traditional, the latter coming strongly from Gheeraerts. Perhaps the most engaging illustration in Volume IV is of FM (21). As in the original, illustration pages are not printed on the verso. There is a bilingual T of C at the front of each of the two volumes in this reprint. 76 and 59 pages. 5⅜" x 8".
