_Cinderella._--Referring to Vol. ii., p. 214., allow me to ask in what
edition of Perrault's _Fairy Tales_ the misprint of _verre_ from _vair_
first occurs? what is the date of their first publication, as well as
that of the translation under the title of _Mother Goose's Tales_?
whether Perrault was the originator of _Cinderella_, or from what source
he drew the tale? {298} what, moreover, is the authority for identifying
_sable_ with _vair_ for the employment of either in designating the
highest rank of princesses?
