Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri Quinque
(Sumtibus Tobiae Loeffleri/Tobias Loeffler, 1825)
This seems to be a reworking of the first edition I have from Loeffler in 1786. The type has been newly set. What appear in that earlier edition as Addenda ad Notas on xv-lxi seem here to have been integrated into 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
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire, 1822)
Bodemann #222.3. 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 including ...
Il Favoleggiatore Italiano, ossia Raccolta di Favole Scelte in Prosa
(Dulau and CompanyPresso Dulau, 1826)
This is a rarity: a collection of Italian fables published in England. It is intended, as the very wordy title-page points out, for the use of students. It contains sixty-two fables on 95 pages. Many vocabulary words ...
Phaedri Fabulae Expurgatae, Accedunt tractatus de versu iambico, notulae anglicae et quaestiones, in usum Scholae Bostoniensis
(Sumptibus Hilliard Gray, Little, et Wilkins,, 1827)
Lamb #560 and Carnes #507. The phrasing of the title and the structure of the book are remarkably similar to what one finds in the 1824 London Valpy edition. Might much of this book, which of course has no author noted, ...
A Collection of Fables, For the Instruction and Amusement of Little Misses and Masters, Adorned with Cuts
(Printed by J. Kendrew Colliergate,, 1820)
A very small (4 x 2½) pamphlet with loose cover (the paper is the same consistency as that of the pages). Twenty-two fables with small rectangular cuts. I am surprised that my favorite The Old Ape and her Cubs is the ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Saintin libraire de la cour,, 1820)
This is a small (3 x 4½) but plump book with appropriately small print on its 376 pages. The AI at the back is followed by four pages of advertisements. This book's special feature lies in the ten pages of engravings ...
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 ...

Select Fables
(Frank Graham Publishers, 1820)
In 1776, Bewick did indifferent woodcuts for an edition of Select Fables. In 1784, T. Saint published a new book by the same name with new woodcuts by T. and John Bewick. In 1820 Charnley did a second edition of this ...
