Fables Amusantes Avec Une Table Générale et Particulière des Mots et de leur Signification en Anglois
(Chez P. Wogan, 1801)
My earliest edition to date had been an 1804 edition from Philadelphia. This edition from Dublin follows the format known from that volume. I note several differences. The preface here starts one paragraph with J'ai ...

Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(H. Mozley, 1807)
See my comments on the 1804 edition by the same publisher. By contrast, this book lacks the frontispiece and any title-page vignette; further its title above CJ on 1 (Aesop's Fables) is simpler, and the cuts are much ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(Printed for J. Brambles A. Meggitt, and J. Waters, by H. Mozley, Gainsborough,, 1804)
This book seems to be an earlier edition of what Bodemann describes under #107.6. That book has Mozley for a publisher in 1819 in Derby; this book locates him in Gainsborough some fifteen years earlier. The only discrepancy ...
