The Pictorial Spelling Book
(Pratt Woodford & Co.,, 1850)
There is a section of eight fables on 115-121, six of them with good rectangular illustrations. There is a very good moral to the first, The Wolf in Disguise: There would be but little chance of detecting hypocrisy, were ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Nepveu, Libraire, & L. de Bure, Libraire, 1826)
Two volumes, separately paginated, in one. This copy either is Bassy 29b or is a two-volume printing of the same edition in the same year. Bassy's copy seems to have continuous page numbers. The discrepancy is apparent ...
Fables and Rhymes for Beginners: The First Two Hundred Words
(Ginn and Company, 1894)
The first sentence of the introduction sets a good goal: This primer is an attempt to place before children, at the very beginning, something worth reading, in a form simple enough for them to read (iii). There are thirty ...
The Fables of La Fontaine I
(Estes and Lauriat, 1881)
This is the first of two volumes with gold embossed blue-and-white covers in excellent condition. It combines the first two volumes of the set of four which I found at Goodspeed's in March, '89, except that this edition ...
Aesop's Fables, Book 2
([s.n.], 1890)
This 8 x 11 pamphlet may set a record in this collection for least publication information! We see here a very pleasing green and gray cover, with some of the gray figures faded. There are twenty-nine fables with some ...
Fables by Walter Brown
(S. Grosvenor, 1884)
Bodemann 361.1. As she says, this is the first edition of the text. Forty-one original prose fables. Brown does not offer morals, for the reader often would draw a much better moral than would generally be added. There ...
Favorite Fables
(Hurst & Company, 1895)
This is a very curious book. Neither its title, cover, nor title-page gives indication that it is La Fontaine's fables that are presented here, though that is clear at the top of most pages within the book. Nor is there ...
Favorite Fables
(Hurst & Company, 1895)
This book is almost the same as another from the same publisher with the same title, also listed under 1895? This book has the same curious suppression of mention of La Fontaine on the cover and title-page, and it maintains ...
Fables Nouvelles, Two Volumes
(Béchet Ainé et CieBéchet aîné et cie, 1826)
This expanded second edition of Jauffret's fables includes some 442 fables in fifteen books. An earlier edition of 1814 or 1815 was published by Maradan: Didot l'ainé and contained only ten books. Curiously, this edition ...
Die Fabeln des Erasmus Alberus: Abdruck der Ausgabe von 1550 mit den Abweichungen der ursprünglichen Fassung
(Verlag von Max Niemeyer, 1892)
This is a hardbound version of a little (about 4¾ x 7) paperbound book already in the collection. The hardbound version makes it a little more difficult to find some of the information supplied on the cover of the paperbound ...
