Aesopi Fabulae (Eton School)
(Cummings and HilliardCummings et Hilliard, 1812)
AI on v. 164 fables in Greek, with Latin notes. No illustrations. Compare how two books have weathered 175 years!
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
Fifty-six fables are numbered here in a book with a weak spine. Ford does sepia throughout, starting with a frontispiece of The Old Tree and the Gardener and a sepia title-page: is that Aesop telling children stories about ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
See my comments on the original edition. There seems to be no indication in this book of when this second edition appeared, but then even the first edition was undated! Here are the differences I note from the first ...
Fables of Aesop and others
(T.O.H.P. Burnham, 1863)
The engravings in the copy from Titles are especially well done. Besides the alphabetical T of C at the beginning, there is an index of subjects at the end. It refers mostly to the virtues inculcated in the longish ...
Select Fables of Aesop and Other Fabulists
(Printed for William Osborne and J & H Mozley, GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J.H. Mozley, 1850)
This is a small book, falling apart. It is almost identical with other Dodsley editions, but a quick check of the frontispiece and title page shows clear differences, additions and subtractions. The book's condition is ...
Aesop's Fables in French
(Henry HoltSchönhof & Moller, 1864)
Wonderful treasures! The advertisement following the title page claims that Aesop is the usual first book for learning French. LaFontaine is not mentioned; the French of the fables is taken from the Latin of Abbé Paul. ...
Fables of Aesop
(Churchill RoadJoseph Tetley & Co., 1896)
Here is a lovely little advertising book with material lifted straight from the Jacobs/Heighway edition of 1894, right down to emblems and frontispiece. The advertising is for Tetley's Teas, and A.W. Miller of Auburn, ME, ...
Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1870)
AI at the beginning and a list of illustrations. Tenniel's illustrations are wonderful; they are best, though not terribly distinct, in the coverless copy. Both books with covers are falling apart. Fortunately, the ...
(Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth)
((John McGowan)s.n.], 1838)
Some patient research on my part seems to have yielded a likely title and publisher for this book. It is identical with the first half of a book I already have had in the collection, with the above title and publisher. ...
Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1869)
About a week ago, I catalogued a surprising find, namely the first edition of 1867. At that time, I noted that I had worked my way back through editions of 1873, 1870, and 1868. Well, now, I seem to have completed the ...
