Aesop's Fables
(J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1873)
This little book in only fair condition seems to reproduce the 1873 version published by Strahan. Like that earlier version from a different publisher, this little book has a green-and-gold embossed cover. The plates are ...
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 ...
The Book of Fables
(Sheldon Blakeman & Co.,, 1850)
This little (5½x almost 4½) volume answers a question raised earlier by a volume with the same bibliographical information. That book consisted of conundrums, and I wondered if the printer made a mistake. This little ...
Aesop's Fables in French
(Leypoldt & Holt, 1869)
This book reproduces the 1864 version published by Henry Holt. I do not detect any changes from that edition. Let me offer some of my comments from there. The advertisement following the title page claims that Aesop is ...
Aesop's Fables
(Western Book Seller's Publishing House ; published and sold by B.F. Ells, 1860)
This is a 32-page pamphlet about 3½ x 5 with thin paper covers and a sewn ribbon binding. Unfortunately 21-28 are missing here. On both covers a young girl sits with a book spread in her lap. As it is, there are eleven ...
Fables from Aesop and Myths from Palaephatus with a vocabulary
(Longmans, Green, and Co./Kessinger Publishing's Legacy Reprints, 1876)
Here is a late nineteenth-century textbook that probably seems curious to us. There are eighteen Aesopic fables in simple Greek prose. Then there are ten mythological stories. After that there is only a vocabulary. ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(John W. Lovell Company, 1895)
Herrick's illustrations for Aesop were much reproduced, it seems to me. This is one of three different versions of the Oxford Edition that presents his designs, one each for one-hundred-and-ten fables. All these editions ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
In 1966 Schocken published both hardbound and paperback editions of the Aesop by Jacobs and Heighway. It keeps as its cover illustration the picture from the hardbound dust-jacket: the dog loses his piece of meat into the ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, Publishers, 1880)
This tight, well-executed book, uses the same text and the same engravings that appear in Routledge editions of 1867 and 1885? Let me note the differences and repeat some good comments from those editions. Greenaway is ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
In 1966 Schocken published both hardbound and paperback editions of the Aesop by Jacobs and Heighway. This is the 1979 printing of the paperback. The cover illustration has changed since the 1976 printing of the paperback. ...
