Chwedlau neu Ddammegion Aesop
(Argraffwyd a Chyhoeddwyd gan R. Hughes & Son,, 1870)
What a wonderful little treasure. The first book has a frontispiece of Aesop holding a scroll sitting in the countryside surrounded by animals. 140 fables, most with rectangular little illustrations reminiscent of Croxall. ...
Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1870)
My best and earliest copy of this thin work. It probably gets the prize for the smallest print in my collection. AI at the beginning and a list of illustrations. Tenniel's illustrations remain wonderful, even when ...
The Fables of Aesop with Instructive Applications Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings
(Milner and Sowerby, 1870)
This is a wonderful little find, 3¾ x 5. Most Croxall editions (including the earliest) have 196 fables. This edition has 211 fables. Miller’s 1865 edition has 248. In fact, there are 208 here and then three separate ...
The Fables of Aesop [Cover: Warne's Edition of Aesop's Fables]
(Frederick Warne and Co./Scribner, Welford, and Armstrong, 1875)
I have been able to date this book to the period from 1872 to 1878, for it was during that six year period that Scribner's had the title Scribner, Welford, and Armstrong, which is listed on the first of the title-pages ...
Fables Choisies d'Ésope (Fables d'Ésope on spine)
(Garnier FrèresGarnier frer̀es, 1870)
The full subtitle is: Nouvelle Édition Classique en Vue de l'Étude Simultanée de la Grammaire et des Racines, Suivie des Fables Imitées d'Ésope par la Fontaine et d'un Lexique Nouveau. Whew! Good things! The book starts ...
Child's Own Fable Book
(Leavitt & Allen, 1870)
This fat little book will delight those tracking fable publication. A frontispiece from Weir introduces a book with Thomas James' 1848 introduction placed (Theddington Vicarage) but not signed. James' 203 fables in I ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller, 1879)
This book largely replicates the first edition of Godolphin's book by James Miller in 1869. See my comments there. Some things have changed. Miller's address has changed from 647 to 799 Broadway. The cover has changed ...
Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1870)
AI at the beginning and a list of illustrations. Tenniel's illustrations are wonderful; they are best, though not terribly distinct, in the coverless copy. Both books with covers are falling apart. Fortunately, the ...
Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Aesopiae
(Teubner, 1876)
This is one of the many printings under Number 620 in Carnes' Phaedrus bibliography. Here is Carnes' description: One of the most successful editions of Phaedrus, a school edition, by Müller (1836-1898), with a short ...
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. ...
