Fables in Monosyllables
(Yorkshire: S.R. Publishers, Ltd./NY: Johnson Reprint Corporation, 1783)
A fascinating little find. The second book reviews the first book's fables (there are seventeen), with a mother moralizing first with William on ten of them and then with George on eight of them. Though the first book ...
Aesop Naturaliz'd: in a collection of fables and stories from Aesop, Locman, Pilpay, and others
(D. Midwinter and A. Ward/Ecco Print EditionsECCO Eighteenth Century Online Print Editions,, 1743)
This is a standard versified Aesop from the eighteenth century featuring some one-hundred-and-eighty fables. Because it lacks all illustration, it is not in Bodemann. The naturalized of the title refers, I believe, to ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae
(Typis H.S. Woodfall Impensis Societatis Stationariorum,, 1784)

Les Fables d'Esope Phrygien avec Celles de Philelphe. Traduction Nouvelle

(J. Read, 1731)

Aesop's Fables in English & Latin, Interlineary, for the Benefit of those who not having a Master, Would Learn Either of these Tongues
(Printed for A. and J. Churchil at the Black Swan in Pater-noster-row, 1703)
There are 337 pages for two-hundred-and-thirty fables. I think I laughed at Locke's project when I first read of it. It makes more sense to me now. He is trying to help people who cannot get to school to learn Latin, ...
