Book of Fables Illustrated by Facts from Real Life
(T. Nelson and Sons, 1853)
Here is a curious book. It uses exactly the same texts for the same fables in another book by the same author, "Gems from Fable-Land: A Collection of Fables Illustrated by Facts," published in New York in the same year ...
Faules de Isop, Filosof Moral y de Altres Famosos Autors
(Estampa de Torras, 1885)
""Corregidas de nou." The closing T of C lists eight books. The sixth is attributed to Remicius. The full-page representation of Aesop is surprising: he is a handsome hunchback. The pose is that of Steinhöwel's Aesop ...
Fables in Verse
(Brown, Bazin, & Co, 1855)
"Twenty-six years ago I bought a first copy of this book at Renaissance in Milwaukee. Here is a second copy in poorer condition. It has the same printer's error listed below. I keep it in the collection because it is a ...
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
(Hurst & Co., 1890)
This book is like two others that I have. Its contents are very much like those in the Arlington Edition put out by Hurst and listed under 1899? There is no indication of an Arlington Edition here. It is exactly like a ...
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
(J. Johnson, R. Baldwin, F.C. and J. Rivington et alPrinted for J. Johnson R. Baldwin, F.C. and J. Rivington, G. and J. Robinson, J. Walker ... and E. Mathews,, 1805)
This is a vintage Croxall edition in good form from about the middle of the long period during which this edition dominated the fable market. The frontispiece is now engraved by Nesbit. The title-page keeps the changes ...
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 ...
My Book of Fables
(Edward Arnold, 1895)
The 108 fables here seem pretty dull to me. The morals are simple. A random sample suggests that Croxall lies somewhere behind these texts but is not a verbatim source. There are frequent rectangular engravings; the ...
Kleines Fabelbuch, Enthaltend 237 der schönsten Fabeln zum Nutzen und Vergnügen der Jugend
(Druck und Verlag von Fleischhauer und Spohn, 1848)
This little book is impressive in several ways and curious in another. It is impressive as a kind of tour-de-force of versification. Gebauer has taken most of these 237 fables and turned them into (mostly harmless) German ...
Fabeln: Politisch-moralisches Panorama unserer Zeit
(Gr. H. S. priv. Landes-Industrie-Comptoir, 1819)
What a curious title! And what a time to look for political-moral wisdom! Here are 153 fables on 182 pages. Each new fable begins a new page in this small -- about 4 x 5 -- book. Its only illustration is the frontispiece ...
