Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(NAs.n., 1786)
Here is a book in poor condition. It lacks covers, title-page, and all pages before 3 and after 314. What remains is in poor condition. It seems in all respects identical to two editions: the first -- a stated 13th ...
Fabulae Aesopi Selectae, or Select Fables of Aesop With an English Translation, more Literal than any yet extant, Designed for the Readier Instruction of Beginners in the Latin Tongue
(Printed by Samuel Hall, 1787)
These books reproduce in a new typesetting my 1784 copy from Strahan in London. They follow the same pagination down to the last page, where they squeeze the last few lines onto 154 and so are one page shorter than the ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae

Select fables of Aesop and other fabulists
(s.n.]unknown, 1780)

(In Bibliopolo novo aul. Et acad., nunc apud Tobiam Loeffler, 1786)
This little book (7 x 4.5) of lxxii + 120 pages plus a four-page T of C at the back is called here a shortened version of a larger work by Desbillons. Presumably, notes and commentary here have been reduced. Of course, ...
Select Fables of Aesop and Others
(Printed by and for T. Saint, 1784)
If this is what I hope it is, what a find! Only two things made me hesitate earlier to acknowledge this book as an original 1784 Bewick. First, Thomas (and John) Bewick are nowhere named. Second, I have a note from ...
Francisci Josephi Desbillons Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri XV: Desbillons fünfzehn Bücher Aesopischer Fabeln
(Riennerischen Buchhandlung, 1789)
What a treasure! Desbillons was a Jesuit who experienced the suppression of the Society in France in 1762 and then later in Mannheim, where he died the year this book was published. Apparently he first brought out his ...
