Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Aesopiae ad Lusitanae Iuventutis Commodum et Institutionem de Integro Recensitae et Illustratae
(Ex Typographia Nationali, 1835)
Editio priori castigatior et emendatior. The Latin place name of Lisbon, I learned here, is Olisipo, and it occurs here in a nice locative ablative. I am not sure in what the illustratae consists, since there are no ...
Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth
(John McGowanPrinted by John M'Gowan, 1838)
This is one of the fattest little (4¼ x 5½) books I have. It is really two volumes bound together, both dated to the same year on their title pages. Each volume has a T of C at its beginning. The first volume has one ...
(Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth)
((John McGowan)s.n.], 1838)
Some patient research on my part seems to have yielded a likely title and publisher for this book. It is identical with the first half of a book I already have had in the collection, with the above title and publisher. ...
Aesop's Fables Translated into English with a Print Before Each Fable, Abridged for the Amusement & Instruction of Youth
(Stereotyped printed, and sold by H. & E. Phinney,, 1836)
This tender little (3½x5¼) pamphlet of 30 pages is unusual for its excellent illustrations. Oval in form, they are 2¾ x 2. Several -- like DM (5), FG (25), and DS (28) -- are as detailed as a fine Bewick illustration. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(Published by Joseph M'Dowell, 1836)
First, there is this bad news: 195-201 are missing. This book uses apparently the same after Kirkall plates that were used in my Cowperthwait edition of 1850 and my 1840 edition of unknown origin. My test case for this ...
Aesop's Fables Translated into English with a Print Before Each Fable, Abridged for the Amusement & Instruction of Youth
(Stereotyped printed, and sold by H. & E. Phinney,, 1836)
This is my second copy of this tender little (3½x5¼) pamphlet of 30 pages. This copy from Harold Burstein is in better condition than my first copy, which was found seven years ago. Still, both are in such fair to poor ...
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 Accompanied by Many Hundred Proverbs and Moral Maxims Suited to the Subject of Each Fable
(P. Dixon Hardy, 1836)
A beautiful little book very nicely rebound in marbled boards. The title-page illustration is in the same family as that in the similar Thomas, Cowperthwait book of 1839. Here there are 105 fables; FM is missing at the ...
