    Fables de Lafontaine: Imagerie d'Épinal 

    La Fontaine, Jean de (Imagerie d'Épinal Pellerin & Cie,Pellerin & Companie, 1850)
    The helpful person at Roe and Moore convinced me that this is a hand-colored Épinal from before the age of chromolithography. Its seven images are breathtaking! I recognize two from having them on Épinal plates. Thus I ...

    The Parables of Frederic Adolphus Krummacher translated from the Seventh German Edition 

    Dalziel, Edward; Dalziel, George; Krummacher, Frederic Adolphus (Henry G. Bohn, 1858)
    I am surprised to find, while this book takes the translations used in my 1854 edition of the same title by Lindsay & Blakiston in Philadelphia, this version has the Dalziel brothers copying the work done there--or perhaps ...

    The Comedies of Terence, and the Fables of Phaedrus. 

    Phaedrus; Riley, Henry T; Smart, Christopher; Terence (Henry G. Bohn, 1853)
    There is a detailed T of C on iv-viii, listing page numbers for both prose and poetry. The prose adds new fables attributed to Phaedrus and Aesopian fables from unknown authors. A random check finds the verse translations good.

    Literary Fables of Yriarte 

    Devereux, George H. (translator); Iriarte, Tomás de (Ticknor and Fields, 1855)
    I am surprised to learn that (all of?) Yriarte's fables have to do with academics. The representation here is good and witty, though I find I cannot take more than a few at a reading. Best of the early fables are The ...

    The Second Primary Reader; Consisting of Extracts in Prose and Verse. With Exercises in Enunciation. For the Use of the Second Classes in Primary Schools. 

    Hillard, George Stillman (Brewer and Tileston, 1858)
    In poor shape, as befits a 140-year-old book. Nine fables without illustration. The moral is different for boys and girls in FC. The cat is to be corded, not belled. There are comments on fables in #4-5 on 32-33.

    Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists 

    Dodsley, Robert (Printed for William Osborne and John Mozely (sic?), GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J & H Mozley Gainsborough,, 1850)
    This is a small book, with separated covers. T of C on 229, with morals listed. The coarse woodcuts are intact. There is a compelling beginning picture of Aesop. Only the first book contains Aesop, in fact fifty-four ...

    Fables Original and Selected 

    Northcote, James (G. Routledge & Co., 1857)
    This lovely little book may not fit into a collection of Aesop. At first I was going to exclude it. But Aesop is on the cover and he is behind more than a few of the fables, notably The Dog and the Stork, which turns out ...

    Select Fables of Aesop and Other Fabulists 

    Aesop; Dodsley, Robert (Printed for William Osborne and J & H Mozley, GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J.H. Mozley, 1850)
    This is a small book, falling apart. It is almost identical with other Dodsley editions, but a quick check of the frontispiece and title page shows clear differences, additions and subtractions. The book's condition is ...

    Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées. 

    La Fontaine, Jean de (A. Mame et CompanieTours, 1852)
    A complete little edition, with lots of simple engravings. Juno on 82 is scratched out: was someone saving the purity of the Capuchins? The book was owned by two of their monasteries. Inscribed: 1852? T of C at the ...

    The Fables of Aesop 

    Aesop; Parker, Willis L. (compiler) (World Publishing Company, 1857)
    The bonanza of Bennett editions continues! This one has the 1931 copyright; the revised 1933 (not the 1931) introduction--but it is not dated, as it is in other 1933 editions; it is from a different publisher (World--as ...
