Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(Simon Probasco, 1829)
For a start on this little book, consult my comments on the 1804 and 1807 Mozley editions, from which this book seems to have been carefully copied. Like those two and my eleventh and seventeenth editions of Croxall's ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1859)
Here is one of many cheap reprintings with new illustrations of the Croxall edition of 1722. Perhaps the first thing to notice about this edition is that the dedication to Lord Halifax has been dropped. The preface's ...
The Fables of Aesop with Instructive Applications Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings
(Printed and published by William Milner, 1843)
This book represents a nice version in better condition of the book I have listed under 1870? from Milner and Sowerby. Their place of business is now Halifax, whereas then it is London. The same size as that volume (3¾ ...
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 ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(W. Strahan et al, 1778)
Bodemann #107.2 calls this edition a Leicht veraenderter Nachdruck of the 1722 first edition. She refers to the illustrations as Nachschnitte--is that certain? If so, the imitation is very precise. Close inspection may ...
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? ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables. Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(National Library Association, 1883)
This book is bibliographically almost a perfect match for one I have listed under 1883, published by John B. Alden in New York. Let me list their differences. This book has the same size page, but is almost twice as ...
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 ...
The Fables of Aesop (Cover and spine: Aesop's Fables)
(Albert Whitman, 1925)
Here is a singular find. I had never seen this book before, and I cannot find it mentioned in Hobbs, Quinnam, or Lindseth. I checked for a formulaic text adapted from LaFontaine and Croxall identified as this book's ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(Peter Brynberg, 1802)
For a start on this little book, consult my comments on the eleventh edition (1778) and seventeenth edition (1805) of Croxall's original work of 1722. This very early American Croxall (perhaps the first US edition?) falls ...
