Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Engravings on Wood
(C. WhittinghamJoseph Booker, Whittaker, Duncan et al, 1828)
This book is identical with versions I have from 1839, 1841, and 1849. With all of these it shares the small size, here about 3¼ x 5. This version turns out to be the earliest I have of this version. Other versions' ...

(Baldwin Cradock, and Joy,Printed by S. Hodgson for Emerson Charnley et al, 1820)
One of the stars of my collection. See my comments on the 1975 facsimile. Excellent wood engravings here in a book I am thrilled to have found. After seeing reprints, it is so wonderful to see the original! Some pencil ...
A Collection of Fables, For the Instruction and Amusement of Little Misses and Masters, Adorned with Cuts
(Printed by J. Kendrew Colliergate,, 1820)
A very small (4 x 2½) pamphlet with loose cover (the paper is the same consistency as that of the pages). Twenty-two fables with small rectangular cuts. I am surprised that my favorite The Old Ape and her Cubs is the ...

(Sumptibus Hilliard Gray, Little, et Wilkins,, 1827)
Lamb #560 and Carnes #507. The phrasing of the title and the structure of the book are remarkably similar to what one finds in the 1824 London Valpy edition. Might much of this book, which of course has no author noted, ...

Fables Amusantes Avec Une Table Particulière des Mots et de leur Signification en Anglois
(Publié par E. Duyckinck, 1829)
This is my sixth different copy of this little book. Chronologically, it fits fifth of the six. It seems most similar to the Baltimore edition of 1823. It follows the general pattern of American editions set by the ...
Fabulae Aesopicae ad Optimorum Librorum Fidem Accurate Editae
(Sumtibus et Typis C. TauchnitiiSumtibus et typis Caroli Tauchnitii, 1829)
This is a classic text as many classicists would like it most: nothing but the Greek text of 423 Greek-titled fables on 190 small pages (4 x 5½). Since this edition occurs after Schneider's publication of the Augustana ...
