Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, Limited, 1885?)
Here is the fifth version I have found of this book by Routledge! It is closest to that listed under 1885?/90? but differs from it in several ways. The cover here presents an illustration in blue and orange of a young ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton. (Boston: E.P. Dutton and Company.), 1865)
See my comments under the adjacent listing of the blue-covered edition found in Beaverton. This edition has red covers with five animals embossed on the front cover and WL on the spine. The plates seem exactly the same, ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(Thomas Cowperthwait & Co.,, 1841)
See my identical copy of 1839 from the same publisher with the same title. The only change I see here is that we have nice leather with Aesop's Fables embossed on the cover. The top of the spine is damaged. See my ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable Printed in the Learners' Style of Phonography, or Phonetic Shorthand
(London: F. Pitman/Bath: Isaac Pitman, 1876)
This is the earliest of the four different dated Pitman-Godolphin booklets I have found. Here Pitman is at Phonetic Depot, 20 Paternoster Row in London. The price will be sixpence all the way through the 1888 edition. ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton, 1865)
In many ways, this book is identical with the 1865 first edition. See my notes there. The differences I can see are that E.P. Dutton in Boston is not mentioned here. This edition is covered in bright green cloth with ...
Fables of Aesop and Others with Instructive Applications.
(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Charles T. Dillingham, 1875?)
This book is close to three others in the collection: Miller 1865, Allen Brothers 1870, and Miller 1890?. Since it is inscribed in 1879, I have guessed at a date of 1875. It is larger in format than those books, namely ...
The Fables of Aesop
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1885?)
This is an unusual volume. Be careful! It borrows the cover, title-page format, and ten colored illustrations from another version by the same publisher and even in the same series (Three Hundred Aesop's Fables). But ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables. Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(National Library Association, 1883?)
This book is bibliographically almost a perfect match for one I have listed under 1883, published by John B. Alden in New York. Let me list their differences. This book has the same size page, but is almost twice as ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists in Three Books. Ancient, Modern, and Original
(S. Fisher, 1802)
According to Bodemann, the text makeup of this book is the same as in the origianal 1761 edition with the exception of A New Life of Aesop. Osborne and Mozley in London had apparently issued a new edition in 1800, and ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1868?)
At last I have found a copy--and now two--of an edition I found recommended early in my hunt for fable books. This book may be a good deal later than the date I am guessing for it. Compare with three other books, all by ...
