The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(F.M. Lupton, 1903)
Very close to my 1902? Lupton edition, right down to the good paper, the good printing, and the numerous empty pages at the end. As is usual for these Lupton editions (see 1900?, 1901?, and 1902?), a note added to the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1867)
This book is internally identical in its plates with that which I have listed by the same publisher under 1866? Its few differences are these four: (1) It has a green and gold cover, (2) adds to the title-page New Edition ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1866)
One of two very curious books sent together; compare it with The Fables of Aesop from Warne for whose printing date I have guessed the same year. That edition adds fifty fables but no illustrations to the 110 fables here; ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1866)
One of two very curious books sent together; compare it with The Fables of Aesop from Warne in 1866. This edition adds fifty fables but no illustrations to the 110 fables there; it also mentions l'Estrange with Croxall ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(Thomas Cowperthwait & Co.,, 1839)
One hundred and ten fables, each with a simple woodcut and many with a (sometimes generic) tailpiece. Apparently the first paragraph of Croxall's Application is taken in each case. T of C at the front. Leather cover. ...
Aesop's Fables Embellished with One Hundred and Eleven Emblematical Devices
(Printed at the Chiswick Press by C. Whittingham for J. Carpenter J. Booker, Sharpe and Hailes, and J. Carr,, 1813)
This is a curious find. At first it seems very similar to two smaller books, published in 1839 and 1841, with which it shares the words emblematical devices and a title-page illustration of a man seated in the countryside ...
Aesop's Fables: Samuel Croxall's Tran
(Limited Editions ClubOxford University Press, 1518)
I went after a second copy of this book because it was being offered so economically on eBay. I think it eluded the notice of other serious seekers. This copy includes from August, 1933, The Monthly Letter of the Limited ...
Fables of Aesop and Others with Instructive Applications.
(James Miller, 1865)
The title is common for Croxall editions. The illustrations and publisher are new to me. 248 fables in a lovely 7 by 4.5 book with gold-embossed brown cover and spine. AI at front. Book advertisements at the front and ...
The Fables of Aesop (?)
(T.Y. Crowell, 1910)
The text plates for this small edition are identical, even including pagination, with those in both editions of The Fables of Aesop (1930?), though this edition adds seven illustrations after Billinghurst and has smaller ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1857)
This copy seems identical with -- but is in better condition than -- our copy of the 1859 edition from Derby and Jackson. I will repeat some of my observations from there. This is one of many cheap reprintings with new ...
