Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(Felt & Dillingham, 1868)
Wonders never cease. Over years I had worked my way back to what I thought was a first edition of Godolphin's work, published by James Miller in NY in 1869. Then I found an undated version by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(Hurst & Company, 1890)
I have spent lots of time with this curious, overpriced book. Its cover presents several good Aesopic images. Its text plates, including T of C, ninety-nine fables, and their pagination, are identical with those in the ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable with Illustrations
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1888)
This is a fascinating book in poor condition, lacking even a back cover. Its front cover, a pictorial red board, shows a circular image of FK. At its bottom is Copyright 1888 O.M. Dunham. That name does not show up in ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(Phonetic InstituteSir Isaac Pitman and Sons, 1900)
A curiosity to go along with Gregg (1919/30) and French stenography (1875?). Thirty-seven fables without illustration follow a T of C. The cover has come loose from the body of this quaint little book.

Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(George Routledge & Sons, 1887)
This is a fascinating book. It presents the originals off of which Saalfield editions I have listed under 1904? and 1905? work. The page-count and layout in fact is exactly the same as in the 1904? edition, but one finds ...

Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(Hurst and Company, 1889)
Once again a book that I thought was simply a better copy of another turns out to have its own niche in this collection. This book is very similar to a book of the same title by the same publisher, which I have listed ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(The Saalfield Publishing Company., 1925)
This book reproduces the one I have listed under 1905? from the same publisher with the same title. Thus it has 92 pages and includes four illustrations after Griset as well as many done after Weir. The cover here is red ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(A.L. Burt Company Publ.,, 1895)
This book uses the plates from another version by Burt dated in the same year. See my comments there. Here there is a different cover (WS in color) and frontispiece (colored The Cat and the Mice). The title-page looks ...
