Aesop's Fables--lessons in living

Abstract

This book is singular for giving not only a moral but an application in each instance. I would gather that it is also an example of eclecticism in the cranking out of Gift Books. Here we have two translators, two morals-and-applications people, and they do not admit who they stole the engravings from (which I recognize but cannot place). The engravings are generally too indistinct, especially those done in brown on white paper.
