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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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. ...
