(D. Midwinter and A. Ward/Ecco Print EditionsECCO Eighteenth Century Online Print Editions,, 1743)
This is a standard versified Aesop from the eighteenth century featuring some one-hundred-and-eighty fables. Because it lacks all illustration, it is not in Bodemann. The naturalized of the title refers, I believe, to ...

Aesop's Fables with Instructive Morals
(printed for T. Wilson and R. Spence, 1740)
