The Word-Picture Fable Book, or Old Aesop in a New Dress
(T. Nelson and Sons Paternoster Row,, 1872)
One first encounters here a lovely colored pasted-on illustration of FG on the cloth cover. Inside are twenty-two fables offered in rebus form. Beginning on 75 there is a key, a collection of standard tellings of the ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable Printed in the Learners' Style of Phonography, or Phonetic Shorthand
(London: F. Pitman/Bath: Isaac Pitman, 1876)
This is the earliest of the four different dated Pitman-Godolphin booklets I have found. Here Pitman is at Phonetic Depot, 20 Paternoster Row in London. The price will be sixpence all the way through the 1888 edition. ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1874)
This book seems to fit in between my 1869 first edition and the later book I have listed under 1879? from the same publisher. It is larger like the later book, and Miller's address is as in the later book. The book is ...
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 ...
Fables of Aesop and Others with Instructive Applications.
(Allen Brothers, 1870)
This book is identical with the two Miller editions of the same title and size, which I list under 1865 and 1890? See my comments there. This has the same markings embossed on its covers as the 1865 Miller book, though ...
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? ...
Aesop's Fables
(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Charles T. Dillingham, 1878)
This book seems exactly identical, except for its cover, with the 1882 printing. As I note there, this printing is among the more serious Griset editions. It is also one of the few that names Rundell; others give only ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables
(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Charles T. Dillingham, 1878)
This book matches one I found over eleven years ago, with the single exception that it has a green cloth cover rather than the blue cover there. The gold of the god holding an axe on the cover with its red title-lettering ...
Old Friends and New Faces
(Cassell Peter, and Galpin,Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1870)
This large-format book never prints on both sides of the page. The Aesop's Fables section begins with a full-page text and full-page colored illustration of 2W, marred by pencil scribblings. There follow five pages of ...
