It is almost as if the parents are teaching the youngsters to be be guided by the lessons of the fairy tales.The stories are:The Palace of Egg-shells; The Playfellow; The Grateful Mouse; The Naughty Children; The Mittens; The Fisherman's Tom Thumb; The Money-box of Little Max; The Little Gray Man; The Comforting Angel; The Christmas Tree; The May-beetle; The Little Tormentor and a few others.The quality of the paper (quite tanned) would make for very poor images of the B&W illustrations. The paper has a heavy, sturdy quality.

Couverture rigide. Paulin | Paris 1832 | 13.2 x 21 cm | 3 volumes reliés | Édition originale de la traduction française illustrée de 2 cartes, dont une dépliante, de figures in texte ainsi que de 5 planches hors-texte gravées sur acier par Fauchery (cf Chadenat 2669. Borba de Moraes ne cite pas le très bref passage consacré à l'étape de Rio (voir tome III, p. 381), plutôt insignifiant en vérité.) Quelques rousseurs. Reliures en demi basane aubergine, dos lisses décolorés ornés d'arabesques romantiques dorées, quelques frottements sur les coiffes, plats de papier marbré, gardes et contreplats de papier à la cuve, ex-libris armoriés encollés sur les contreplats, tranches mouchetées, reliures romantiques de l'époque. * Le voyageur anglais Richard Lander [1804-1834], typographe de formation, accompagna le capitaine Clapperton en Afrique lors de son dernier voyage. Revenu en Angleterre en 1828, Lander "y publia le récit du capitaine ainsi que son propre journal (1829). Il s'offrit au gouvernement anglais pour continuer les explorations relatives au cours du Niger. Son offre fut acceptée, et, conjointement avec son frère John, il partit de Plymouth le 9 janvier 1830, sur le brick Alerte, et le 22 février suivant il débarqua à Const-Castle, l'un des principaux établissements anglais en Guinée. Après un séjour de trois semaines, les voyageurs se dirigèrent sur Badagry, où ils atterrirent le 22 mars. Ils y furent assez mal reçus par le roi Adouly, et, dit Lander, 'si nous eussions trouvé parmi les Badagryotes un seul brave homme, nous aurions pris plaisir à proclamer ce fait ; mais il n'en fut pas ainsi : ils exercèrent sur nous sans scrupules leurs mauvais penchants. Les Badagryotes, quoique mahométans, font encore des sacrifices humains aux démons'. Les frères Lander se hâtèrent de quitter de si mauvais hôtes, et le 17 juin ils arrivèrent à Boussa, où ils visitèrent l'endroit où Mungo-Park et ses compagnons avaient trouvé la mort, en 1809 ; mais ils ne purent recueillir aucun détail sur la catastrophe qui termina la vie de ce courageux voyageur. Ils s'embarquèrent ensuite sur le Niger (Quorra dans le langage indigène), passèrent devant les villes de Congi, d'Inguazilligie, devant l'île de Pastastrie, et le 18 octobre ils descnedirent à Rabba, capitale du roi des Eaux-Noires, qui les reçut cordialement. Ils visitèrent ensuite Damuggou, Eboe, et le 18 novembre ils entrèrent dans la principale branche de Quorra, appelée la rivière Nun, et montèrent à bord d'un brick anglais, qui les conduisit à Fernando-Po (1er décembre). Le 20 janvier 1831 ils reprirent la mer sur le Caernarvon, mouillèrent à Rio-Janeiro, et le 9 juin jetèrent l'ancre à Portsmouth". Lors de ce voyage, les frères Lander purent constater que le Niger se jette dans la baie de Benin par plusieurs bras. Richard Lander mourut lors d'une deuxième expédition sur le Niger, en 1833-1834. Son frère lui survécut jusqu'en 1839. Cf. Hoefer. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition of the illustrated French translation, with 2 maps (one folding), in-text figures, and 5 steel-engraved plates by Fauchery (see Chadenat 2669.
