    Notes
    • Text is identical to that of the second edition. Includes an ad for the bilingual edition, recommending it as a text- book for learning French.
    • There are two errors in numbering. The contents mistakenly omits tale II "The Fairy", results in the next seven stories being misnumbered.
    • Apparently the earliest illustrated version of the Discreet Princess.
    • Inscribed on endpapers by child owner, Mary Fearman, with book curse.
    Provenance
