Chapter 34

The general histories and bibliographies of M. Reynier and Herr Koerting, as well as the monographs of MM. Chatenay, Magne, and Reure, will be found registered in the notes to text, and references to them in the index. The original editions are also given in text or note. Modern reprints--except of the fairy stories and one or two others--are almost entirely wanting. For the Greek Romances see above under Chapter I. The _Astree_, after its first issues, appeared as a whole in 1637 and 1647, the latter being the edition referred to in "Add. and Corr." But the later eighteenth-century (1733) version of the Abbe Souchay is said to be "doctored." I have not thought it worth while to look up either this or the earlier abridgment (_La Nouvelle Astree_ of 1713), though this latter is not ill spoken of. For the _Cabinet des Fees_ (41 vols., Geneva, 1785-89) see text.
