Select Fables from Aesop and Others with Two Hundred Illustrations
(Leary & Getz, 1855)
This little book's collection includes 153 fables from twenty-seven different sources besides a few marked either Anonymous or Original: Arwaker, Cowper , Croxall, Denis, Dodsley, Dutch, Epictetus, Esop, Fables of Flowers, ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(Peter Brynberg, 1802)
For a start on this little book, consult my comments on the eleventh edition (1778) and seventeenth edition (1805) of Croxall's original work of 1722. This very early American Croxall (perhaps the first US edition?) falls ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(Simon Probasco, 1829)
For a start on this little book, consult my comments on the 1804 and 1807 Mozley editions, from which this book seems to have been carefully copied. Like those two and my eleventh and seventeenth editions of Croxall's ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources. Forty-Eighth Thousand.
(John Murray, 1863)
Here I think I have an early copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Somewhere I have learned that Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it (in ...
Fabulae Aesopi Selectae, or Select Fables of Aesop With an English Translation as Literal as Possible
(Printed by Burnside and Smith, 1804)
See my three editions (1784, 1787, 1802) of Clarke's book, on which this book is based. Let me quote the title-page here: A New Edition wherein the errors in the Latin text of the best and latest European copies of Mr. ...
The Little Esop (miniature)
(Philadelphia: Loomis and Peck. New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1846)
See my notes on the 1848 edition by the same firms. The two editions seem to be identical. This little book is in very poor condition. Its Ebay advertisement says This sweet lil book has not had an easy life! Someone ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton. (Boston: E.P. Dutton and Company.), 1865)
See my comments under the adjacent listing of the blue-covered edition found in Beaverton. This edition has red covers with five animals embossed on the front cover and WL on the spine. The plates seem exactly the same, ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton, 1865)
In many ways, this book is identical with the 1865 first edition. See my notes there. The differences I can see are that E.P. Dutton in Boston is not mentioned here. This edition is covered in bright green cloth with ...
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 ...
