    Francisci-Josephi Desbillons Fabulae Aesopiae, Curis Posterioribus Omnes Fere Emendatae: Quibus Accesserunt Plus Quam CLXX Novae 

    Aesop; Desbillons, François-Joseph Terrasse (editor,) (translator) (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 ...

    No Author (Printed for E. Johnson, 1773)
    The title-page continues: Divided into Sections, and the Two Languages answering almost verbatim for the Greater Conveniency of Learners. The Whole adorned with Cuts. Designed principally for Schools. This is a lovely ...

    Fables Choisies Mis en Vers par Monsieur de La Fontaine 

    No Author (J. Samuel Cailler, 1772)
    I consider this one of the best finds of an unusually successful trip to Europe. I had finished at Picard and stopped next door at a shop supposedly dealing rather in technical books. The shopkeeper found this one book ...

    Bodemann #126.3. This book may set the record for the longest subtitle: An Ancient Indian Philosopher. Containing a Number of Excellent Rules for the Conduct of Persons of all Ages, and in all Stations: Under several ...

    Bewick's Select Fables of Aesop and Others 

    Aesop; Bewick, Thomas; Dodsley, Robert,; Goldsmith, Oliver,; Pearson, Edwin (1784: T. Saint/1878: Longmans, Green, 1776)
    Lovely, if sometimes simple, wood engravings. The best may be TT and DS. This is apparently an early work of Bewick's, not to be confused with the classic 1818 edition. Tripartite AI at the back.

    Fables de Phedre Affranchi d'Auguste, en Latin et en François avec des Notes historiques & critiques 

    Lallement de Maupas, Richard Xavier Félix (editor,) (translator); Phaedrus (Chez Jean Schweighauser, 1771)
    This small 4 x 6½ book offers a facing prose translation for Phaedrus' fables, with frequently extensive notes at the bottom of the page. There is a two-page Avertissement at the book's beginning, and a T of C in Latin ...

    Francisci-Josephi Desbillons e Societate Jesu Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri Decem Diligenter Emendati post Editionem Tertiam Parisinam Quam Solam Auctor Agnoscit 

    No Author (Augustae Vind. Et Friburgi Brisg. Sumptibus Fratrum Ign. Et Ant. Wagner, 1776)
    Here is a fascinating edition. It reproduces the third edition from Paris, which I have under 1759. It has thus ten books of fables. There are several surprises here. First, the Society had already been suppressed ...

    Carnes 226. The fables of Phaedrus are first printed as in the received text and are then paraphrased into prose, using English syntax as the norm, with the original vocabulary as far as possible. Rhetorical devices within ...

    Fessard, Etienne; La Fontaine, Jean de; Montulay (Valmer-Bibliophilie, 1774)
    This is a curious set of six volumes, beautifully bound, replicating the Fessard edition of 1765-75, as the colophon near the end of the book points out. This fifth volume (Books 9 and 10) was published in 1774. I can ...
