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 ...
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? ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(Thomas Cowperthwait & Co.,, 1841)
See my identical copy of 1839 from the same publisher with the same title. The only change I see here is that we have nice leather with Aesop's Fables embossed on the cover. The top of the spine is damaged. See my ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (smaller format: 5¼x 6¾)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
This book is to a large extent identical with the one from the same publisher that I have listed under 1910? The selection and placement of illustrations seem to be slightly different (though in both cases from Billinghurst). ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (larger format: 5½x 7½)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
These two books use the identical plates used to make the smaller format book published by Crowell in the same year. Thus they have 230 pages and 330 fables. See my comments there. These books have a slightly larger ...
The Fables of Aesop with Instructive Applications Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings
(Milner and Sowerby, 1860)
This seems to be a reprint of the book I have listed under 1843. The publisher has changed from William Milner to Milner and Sowerby. The indication of the same as printer at the bottom of the last page no longer includes ...
