Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is a 1912 reprinting of a book I already have listed as the 1911 third edition. Inscribed at Christmas, 1913. See my comments there. This reprinting lacks the advertisements after the index at the back. In a curious ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1869)
I already have a copy of this fine book with a green cover. Here is a copy with a blue cover. It is perhaps in better condition. This copy had been in the Lerner Library Collection. I will repeat my comments from the ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Erster Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
This is a little treasure which I would not have expected to find. For Waldis' original work, see Bodemann's Fabula Docet #15. This edition by Kurz is the one bibliographical work referenced in that item. Cataloguing ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Zweiter Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
See my comments on the first part of this two-part work. This second part contains first Book 4. Waldis' own title is Das Vierdte Buch der Fabeln Esopi hat Hundert newer Fabeln (1). This fourth book with its longer ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1869)
Here are two copies with brown covers that are slightly different from my best copy of the book, which has a blue cloth cover. Each of these is over $115 cheaper than that copy! All three copies have the same publication ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1866)
One of two very curious books sent together; compare it with The Fables of Aesop from Warne in 1866. This edition adds fifty fables but no illustrations to the 110 fables there; it also mentions l'Estrange with Croxall ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Alfred Mame et Fils, 1863)
Heretofore my earliest Girardet edition published by Mame has been in 1874. Bodemann #330 lists a first illustrated edition in 1857, which had been preceded by an unillustrated version in 1853. That 1857 illustrated ...
The Child's Own Picture and Verse Book.
(Anderson and Ramsay printers, 28 Frankfort Street)James Miller, 1864)
A wonderful little squarish book in very good condition. Ninety-seven verse fables, each in a standard format: a text, ten to fifteen lines long, on the left page is echoed in a framed illustration on the right page. ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1869)
At long last I have worked my way back to a first edition of this important book. It is inscribed in 1879. I believe I have the book as done now by six different publishers. Blue cloth with gilt, including a lovely ...
Fables of Aesop and others
(T.O.H.P. Burnham, 1863)
The engravings in the copy from Titles are especially well done. Besides the alphabetical T of C at the beginning, there is an index of subjects at the end. It refers mostly to the virtues inculcated in the longish ...
