Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists in Three Books. Ancient, Modern, and Original
(S. Fisher, 1802)
According to Bodemann, the text makeup of this book is the same as in the origianal 1761 edition with the exception of A New Life of Aesop. Osborne and Mozley in London had apparently issued a new edition in 1800, and ...
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 of Esop and Other Fabulists. In Three Books
(Printed by John Baskerville for R. and J. Dodsley,, 1761)
Here is Bodemann #145.1, with the description fulfilled in every detail. I have been so delighted to find a Dodsley first edition. I had worked with Dodsley at length at the Pierpont Morgan during my sabbatical. The ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists. In Three Books. A New Edition
(Printed for J. Dodsley, 1773)
Compare this book with my 1761 first edition, done by Stockdale in Birmingham. See my comments there. This copy lacks the frontispiece and has experienced some repairs. It is rebound in vellum covered boards, slightly ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(W. Strahan et al, 1778)
Bodemann #107.2 calls this edition a Leicht veraenderter Nachdruck of the 1722 first edition. She refers to the illustrations as Nachschnitte--is that certain? If so, the imitation is very precise. Close inspection may ...
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 ...
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
(National Library Association, 1883)
This book is bibliographically almost a perfect match for one I have listed under 1883, published by John B. Alden in New York. Let me list their differences. This book has the same size page, but is almost twice as ...
Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals With an engraving to each fable
(Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, 1821)
Bodemann #241.1 lists the first edition of this work in 1820. The frontispiece in both my 1823 and 1828 editions gives a date of 1821. Whereas the second edition in 1823 lists itself as The Second Edition, Corrected, ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists. In Three Books. A New Edition
(Printed for Will. Osborne & Jn. MozelyWilliam Osborne & John Mozely, 1790)
This book first departs from the tradition of Dodsley printings (see my notes on, e.g., the first edition of 1761) with its frontispiece, which is a copy of the frontispiece in many Croxall editions: a writer surrounded ...
Dodsley's Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists. In Three Books. As well for the Use of Schools as Young Gentlemen
(Printed for T. and J. Whitehouse, 1763)
See my comments on the Birmingham first edition by Baskerville in 1761. June had collected this book because, I believe, of her particular interest in books in Ireland. A first difference that strikes the eye here is ...
