Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Syndicate Trading Company, 1884)
This book reproduces almost identically the book published the same year by William Allison Company. It has the same misspelling of Weir's name on the title-page. This book adds R. Worthington under Copyright 1884 on the ...
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 ...
The Fables of Aesop
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1885)
This is an unusual volume. Be careful! It borrows the cover, title-page format, and ten colored illustrations from another version by the same publisher and even in the same series (Three Hundred Aesop's Fables). But ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(George Routledge & Sons, 1887)
This is a fascinating book. It presents the originals off of which Saalfield editions I have listed under 1904? and 1905? work. The page-count and layout in fact is exactly the same as in the 1904? edition, but one finds ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable Printed in the Learners' Style of Phonography, or Phonetic Shorthand
(London: Isaac Pitman & Sons/Bath: Phonetic Institute, 1888)
This is the third of the four different dated Pitman-Godolphin booklets I have found. Here the London publisher is Isaac Pitman & Sons at 1 Amen Corner, Paternoster Row, E.C. And the Bath publisher is Phonetic Institute. ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
Fifty-six fables are numbered here in a book with a weak spine. Ford does sepia throughout, starting with a frontispiece of The Old Tree and the Gardener and a sepia title-page: is that Aesop telling children stories about ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
See my comments on the original edition. There seems to be no indication in this book of when this second edition appeared, but then even the first edition was undated! Here are the differences I note from the first ...
Selections from Aesop's Fables
(D. Lothrop and Company, 1884)
Identical with the other printing of the same year, though in better condition, except for cheaper paper, a different cover, and omissions on the title page of the publisher's address and acknowledgement of the printer. ...
The Baby's Own Aesop
(London and NY: George Routledge and Sons. 1981 reproduction by Holp Shuppan, Tokyo, 1887)
Wonderful pictures in a variety of color schemes and combinations. The Man That Pleased None is my favorite. The rhymed morals presume knowledge of the story.
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables: Illustrated Facsimile Edition
(Wildside Press LLC, 1885)
Here is a recent print upon demand copy of Townsend's famous edition, with a lively cartoon LM illustration on the cover. This copy does an excellent job with the Weir illustrations. There is little inside the book to ...
