Paris: Librarie Garnier Frères 1921. Hardcover. Good. The Garnier Frères publishing house produced many versions of Molière's collected works over the years after it was established in 1833. This one published in 1921 is a three-volume set quarter-bound in dark-red morocco over red marbled boards with contrasting green marbled endpapers. The spine has five false raised bands each with a line of gold tooling and the title and volume number is tooled in gold in two sections between the first and second bands; gold tooled floral decorations are in each of the other sections. There are a few penciled notes in volumes one and two but otherwise the pages are remarkable free of marks stains and tears for books of this age. The bindings show shelf wear on all edges and bumping on the corners but are tight and hold the pages quite well. Each volume is between 500 and 600 pages. These are good reading copies that will look very nice on any shelf. Complete three-volume set. Librarie Garnier Frères hardcover

Arnold. The first collected edition of Moliere in English translated with the exception of two of the plays with a prefatory Life by John Ozell a prolific translator of the times who found his capacity for such work derided by Pope and Swift. Moliere was of considerable influence on the English stage via adaptations and derivatives by greater and lesser talents and even if the translations printed here were considered less than graceful by some they were widely read. At the end of his Dedication to the Earl of Dorset and Middlesex Ozell notes "that the Misanthrope and Malade Imaginaire . are translated by other Persons whose Names I forbear to mention since they have thought fit to conceal themselves."
