    Esope en belle humeur ou l'elite de ses fables enrichies de figures/Esopus bey der Lust 

    Mouton, Carl (Johann Christoph Kißner, 1729)
    "Here is a second copy of this book, bound in a different order and lacking several of the pages in my better copy. Because it is different, I will keep it in the collection. First, what did I write about the original ...

    Sittenlehre für die Jugend in den auserlesensten aesopischen Fabeln 

    Richardson, Samuel; Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim (Weidmannische Handlung/Insel Verlag, 1757)
    Here is an extra copy of this book, bought from the same shop as my first copy, biut for about half the price at a sad going-out-of-business sale starting that day. I already have a pair of German editions representing ...

    Fables of Aesop and Others. Newly done into English. With an Application to each Fable. Illustrated with Cutts 

    Aesop (NA, 1727)
    This book lacks a title page. It was sent to me for analysis by Mercy in Action, to which it had been donated. It also lacks a spine and cover, and has copious writing and doodling, for example, on the early pages. It ...

    Collectanea Graeca Minora 

    Dalzel, Andrew (1791)
    The book begins with 31 fables on 3-14, complete with extensive Latin notes and vocabulary. T of C at the beginning, and an index rerum at the end. The fourth edition has a fold-out frontispiece and new Greek typeface. ...

    Fables for the Female Sex 

    Brooke, Henry; Moore, Edward (Unknown (title page missing)[s.n.], 1744)
    A book that apparently went through a number of editions. 1783 seems to be some bookdealer's guess for this one. 16 fables strong on morality, less good on story. Thefable itself really becomes a derivative illustration ...

    An Essay on Fable 

    Dircks, Richard J; Dodsley, Robert; Welcher, Jeanne K (William Andrews Clark Memorial Library University of California,, 1764)
    A well researched introduction finds Dodsley's essay, attached to his edition of fables, the first comprehensive, original study of the genre in English. The essay itself surprises me with its sense and taste. Fable for ...

    Fables de La Fontaine: Tome Premier 

    No Author (Jean de Bonnot, 1755)
    An exquisite book. I went to Paris hoping to find an Oudry. Though this volume contains only the first three books of LaFontaine, the engravings are exquisite. Surprisingly inexpensive on the Seine. The paper is ...

    Fables de la Fontaine, Tome Second 

    No Author (P. Didot l'ainé et Firmin Didot, 1799)
    This second of two volumes completes a set started nine years ago. The match with the first volume is not exact, even apart from the fact that this book has lost its covers. While much of the title-page is identical with ...

    The Fables of Aesop With a Life of the Author and Embellished with one Hundred Twelve Plates, Vol. II 

    Aesop; Croxall, Samuel (John Stockdale, 1793)
    This is the best of three two-volume Stockdales and one of two of them acquired within a month of each other. All three pairs differ in several ways from what I believe to be a true first, listed under 1793. Though these ...

    The Instructive and Entertaining Fables of Pilpay 

    No Author (Darf Publishers, 1775)
    Nice paperback facsimile. Lindseth has the sixth edition, of 1789, which he identifies as published by J.F. and C. Rivington in London. General Heads are listed on ix, while a full listing of fables begins on x. This ...
