(Gale ECCO Print EditionJ. Osborn, Junior/Gale Ecco, 1740)
This is a good publish-on-demand printing of apparently the most original of the Samuel Richardson editions. Ecco says the title-page is engraved Published November 20, 1739. Bodemann #131.1 is their first copy, printed ...
Aesop's Fables in English & Latin, Interlineary, for the Benefit of those who not having a Master, Would Learn Either of these Tongues
(A.and J. Churchil/Kessinger Publishing, 1703)
I closed my remark on my original copy of this book with this comment: I wonder why no one has ever reprinted this book. Here is my answer. This copy, manufactured at request, provides a good supplement to the original ...
Mythoi Aisopou: Aesopi Fabulae Graeco-Latinae
(Apud J. Pote bibliopolam,, 1749)
Unusual bilingual reader: The 144 Greek fables are given first, with helpful and extensive Latin notes right after the individual Greek fable. After 122, we start over again with the very same 144 fables in Latin, this ...
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 ...

This is a lovely old edition. Among its quaint features is that it is dated An VI to reflect the French revolution. It includes a life of Aesop covering 103 pages in twenty-seven chapters, with a rectangular illustration ...
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, ...

I had been working with my York Richardson from Spivey in Kansas City, which I had suspected was a second and maybe even a secondary edition. See my comments there. Now I am delighted to get this book. Some bookseller ...
Aesop's Fables with Instructive Morals
(printed for T. Wilson and R. Spence, 1740)
I have changed the date on this edition after getting a copy of a London edition, for which I have guessed a date of 1761. This edition seems to be that which Ulrike Bodemann places as a second edition of 1753, at the ...
