Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Emblematical Devices
(Thomas Cowperthwait & Co.,, 1841)
See my identical copy of 1839 from the same publisher with the same title. The only change I see here is that we have nice leather with Aesop's Fables embossed on the cover. The top of the spine is damaged. See my ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (smaller format: 5¼x 6¾)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
This book is to a large extent identical with the one from the same publisher that I have listed under 1910? The selection and placement of illustrations seem to be slightly different (though in both cases from Billinghurst). ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (larger format: 5½x 7½)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
These two books use the identical plates used to make the smaller format book published by Crowell in the same year. Thus they have 230 pages and 330 fables. See my comments there. These books have a slightly larger ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications
(Bliss, Sands & Co, 1897)
It is strange that I had not found this book until 1996 and within a few years have found it two more times in slightly different versions--one the extra here and one a copy by Stokes in NY, listed under 1910? This is a ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications
(Frederick A. Stokes Company, Publishers, 1910)
See my remarks on what I take to be the original book, published by Bliss, Sands, and Company in 1897. This edition is notable by contrast for its cheaper paper and, therefore, for the poorer precision of the illustrations. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Newly done into English. With an Application to each Fable. Illustrated with Cutts.
(Printed for J. Tonson and J. WattsPrinted for J. Tonson at Shakespear's Head in the Strand, and J. Watts at the Printing Office in Wild-Court, near Lincolns-Inn Fields, 1722)
At last I have arrived at a first edition of Croxall! And it is a good copy. Bodemann #107.1. Croxall is first mentioned at the end of the dedication to Halifax. At the beginning, what is labeled The Contents of the ...
The Fables of Aesop with Instructive Applications Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings
(Milner and Sowerby, 1860)
This seems to be a reprint of the book I have listed under 1843. The publisher has changed from William Milner to Milner and Sowerby. The indication of the same as printer at the bottom of the last page no longer includes ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1901)
This edition stands out from others by Griset from McLoughlin in that it gives its own date (on a rock in the cover illustration). It has the lovely colored TMCM frontispiece one can find in both 1900? editions from ...
Fables of Aesop, and Others(?)
([s.n.], 1840)
This little volume is lacking a number of things, including its title-page, Fables II-VI, and the last 1½ fables. If it followed the tradition of similar Croxall editions, also lacking are a frontispiece, a preface, and ...
Fables of Aesop and Others with Instructive Applications.
(James Miller, 1890)
See my notes on the earlier copy of this book (1865). 248 fables in a lovely 7 by 4.5 book with embossed green covers and a gold-embossed spine. Advertisements at the front and back for all sorts of things, including ...
