The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is very closely related to the boxed white-cover version by the same publisher in the same year, but it has a dark gray cover with a blue fox and blue grapes. It also has a blue background for the title on the ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1857)
This copy seems identical with -- but is in better condition than -- our copy of the 1859 edition from Derby and Jackson. I will repeat some of my observations from there. This is one of many cheap reprintings with new ...
Ek Ton Tou Aisopou Mythoi Eklektoi/Nouveau Choix des Fables d'Ésope
(Librairie Classique d'Eugène Belin, 1850)
Here is a schoolbook that has lasted for some years. The preface to the first edition is dated 1824, and this is listed as a Nouvelle Édition. The first two pages of the text, including apparently four fables, are missing, ...
Select Fables from Aesop and Others
(William H. Murphy, 1852)
Eleven years ago I found a fragile copy of this book. It had lost its frontispiece and had numbers written in heavy black ink on both covers. Now I have found this second copy of the book, which is likewise fragile but ...
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, ...
Aesop in Rhyme, or Old Friends in a New Dress
(Philadelphia: C.G. Henderson & Co./NY: D. Appleton & Co., 1854)
This little book rewards some study. The first fables, through 78, repeat verbatim the texts of Jefferys Taylor in his 1821 Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals. From what I can tell, later stories in this book that repeat ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Derby & Jackson, 1859)
Here is one of many cheap reprintings with new illustrations of the Croxall edition of 1722. Perhaps the first thing to notice about this edition is that the dedication to Lord Halifax has been dropped. The preface's ...
The Fables of Aesop Adapted to the Hamiltonian System, By an Analytical and Interlineal Translation
(W. Aylott & Co., 1850)
For the Use of Schools and Private Learners. Here is yet another interlinear presentation of Aesop. A Google search revealed a Gospel of St. John published in the 1830's according to the Hamiltonian system along with ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press on spine. NY: De Luxe Editions: Illustrated Editions Co, 1857)
I cannot get over the plethora of 1931 and 1931/33 Bennett editions! This one is identical with my 1857/1931/33 editions except for two features: both cover materials are different, this one featuring green felt and woven ...
Select Fables from Aesop and Others
(William H. Murphy, 1852)
Here is a small book (4 x 6) in poor condition. Green cloth covers. The spine has a gold title, a tall figure of Aesop the teacher and a student (?), and One Hundred Illustrations. The front cover has a floral cornucopia. ...
