(Typis J. Barbou, 1769)
Here is a fifth edition of Desbillons' Aesopic fables, now comprising fifteen books in one volume. The publisher remains Barbou, as it was for the third edition of 1759. The title of that edition was Francisci-Josephi ...
Francisci-Josephi Desbillons Fabulae Aesopiae, Curis Posterioribus Omnes Fere Emendatae: Quibus Accesserunt Plus Quam CLXX Novae
(typis J. Barbou, 1778)
Here is a well-preserved book announcing itself as the sixth edition of Desbillons' Aesopic fables. I find it very hard to distinguish from the fifth edition of 1769. A random check finds no differences. See my comments ...
The Fables of Aesop With a Life of the Author and Embellished with one Hundred Twelve Plates, Vol. I
(Printed for John Stockdale Piccadilly,, 1793)
This is the one 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 Fables of Aesop With a Life of the Author and Embellished with one Hundred Twelve Plates, Vol. I
(John Stockdale, 1793)
This is the one of three two-volume Stockdales. All three pairs differ in several ways from what I believe to be a true first, listed under 1793. Though these editions kept the title page of the 1793 first printing (right ...

Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable with Illustrations
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1888)
Here is a second copy, slightly different and again in poor condition, of a book already in the collection. Its front cover, a pictorial red board, shows a circular image of FK. At its bottom is Copyright 1888 O.M. Dunham. ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(George Routledge & Sons, 1882)
This is one more in a large series of nearly identical books. Routledge published this same book with colorful covers; I have listed those editions under 1883? and 1887? Several things distinguish this book. It has a ...
