The Christian Aesop: Ancient Fables Teaching Eternal Truths
(Burns, Oates, and Company/KessingerKessinger Publishing, 1871)
This book is a delightful find that I just looked at in a Kripke Conference paper. For each of fifty fables, Anderdon adds to the usual narrative and illustration a short spiritual teaching and scripture quotation. Then ...
Aesop's Fables with Vocabulary, Notes, and References to Goodwin's and Hadley's Grammars
(John Allyn Publisher,, 1879)
Preceded by Talks on the Natural Method. This is a curious book. First, I am surprised that I have not run into it before, because I have had my eye out for books that use Aesop to teach. This book does exactly that. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1873)
This is a second and poorer copy of the second edition. Like the better copy, this book has the same format, cover design, pagination as the first edition, done perhaps in 1869. See my comments there. The cloth cover ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1873)
This little book in only fair condition seems to reproduce the 1873 version published by Strahan. Like that earlier version from a different publisher, this little book has a green-and-gold embossed cover. The plates are ...
Fables from Aesop and Myths from Palaephatus with a vocabulary
(Longmans, Green, and Co./Kessinger Publishing's Legacy Reprints, 1876)
Here is a late nineteenth-century textbook that probably seems curious to us. There are eighteen Aesopic fables in simple Greek prose. Then there are ten mythological stories. After that there is only a vocabulary. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1873)
That this is a second edition, as the title-page proclaims, seems clear. The book has the same format, cover design, pagination as the first edition, done perhaps in 1869. See my comments there. The cloth cover has ...
Niederdeutscher Aesopus: Zwanzig Fabeln und Erzählungen aus einer Wolfenbüttler Hs. des XV. Jahrhunderts
(Verlag von Karl J. Trübner, 1870)
Here is a German-language article of some 83 pages on a Dutch manuscript of the fifteenth century. It represents typically careful German work. The texts themselves are listed with their Latin titles on 15. They represent ...
The Fables of Aesop and Others Translated Into English With Instructive Applications
(William P. Nimmo, 1870)
How wonderful of Leon to find this for me on the web! It is yet another variation in the re-use of Croxall's translation of 1722. This one uses the plates used in the J.B.L. & Co. edition that I have listed under 1880? ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables. New and Enlarged Edition.
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1874)
I think I have here the key link from which so many editions spread. This is, I believe, the first edition of the enlarged book that worked off of Rundell and Griset's edition of 1869? See my comments there. This copy ...
