Gay's Fables and Other Poems, Cotton's Visions in Verse, Moore's Fables for the Female Sex.
(J.F. Dove, 1826)
A lovely little book containing, apparently, all sixty-seven of Gay's fables and the sixteen of Moore's fables that I find in my own 1744/83? edition. A surprising find in a mess of books from a local estate. It was worth ...
Aesop's Fables as Romanized by Phaedrus, with a Literal Interlinear Translation, Accompanied by Illustrative Notes on the Plan Recommended by Mr. Locke
(And Hatchard and Son Piccadilly,Printed for John Taylor, 1828)
See my later printing of this book--the eleventh edition--from 1845. The publisher will change then to Taylor and Walton. For comments see Carnes. The introduction to this literal translation of Phaedrus explains the ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire, 1822)
Bodemann #222.3, Volume Two. This is a new edition of the work first published in 1814 and again in 1818 by Lefèvre, this time--as in 1814--as part of a six-volume Oeuvres de La Fontaine. This seems to be the first edition ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier

Die Fabeln des Aesop in deutscher, lateinischer, französischer und italienischer Sprache, Heft 17
(Kunsthandlung des H.F. Müller, 1827)
This is a very curious little pamphlet. It is Volume 17 of a series that began appearing in January of 1827 and kept appearing every Saturday. Each little installment contains four fables in four languages on green-tinted ...
Fables for the Nursery: Original and Select
(Dodo Press, 1821)
This is a curious 72-page paperback book. Wikipedia tells that Catharine Parr Traill, née Strickland, wrote Nursery Fables in 1821. This semi-facsimile does not offer a facsimile title-page, and so one cannot know what ...
Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals
(Printed for Baldwin Cradock, and Joy, Paternoster Row,, 1821)
A wonderful little book. The simple engravings are utterly charming. The best of them and of the fables may be Aesop's Trial (frontispiece and last fable), at which Aesop explains to the hostile beasts that the fables ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Second
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
The value of these two volumes lies chiefly, I believe, in the twelve aqua-fortis gravures designed by Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret. They often have a medallion inserted within a picture. A list of them, as apparently first ...

Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Aesopiae
(A.J. Valpy, 1822)
This work is in amazingly good condition for its age! It was well preserved in the novitiate at Los Gatos and the teachers' library at Santa Clara! Volume I has an unusual T of C at its beginning and then a fairly ...
