A Amsterdam, chez J. F. Boitte et Comp., 1764. 2 parts in 1 volume 8vo. 3 leaves. 122 pages. + 40 pages. Half-shagreen, ribbed spine (19th century binding). First French edition of these fables composed for women, whose character traits and social condition they seek to stigmatize through the evocation of marriage, chastity, vice, coquetry, seduction, vanity, etc. The second part, addressed to young people, differs slightly from Landwehr's description of it (separately from the first part), which does not mention the indication of '2nd part' in the title, and assigns it forty-one pages.
