Abstract
This is an unstapled pamphlet of 13 pages, all but 1-2 presenting a musical score. The libretto for this operette, one of ten that make up the Aesop's Fables series, is a combination of L'Estrange's text and Smith's own. In this version the woman starts with sore eyes, and the doctor applies temporarily blinding ointment to them. Is there a typo near the top of 9? The text there seems to say there became and less followed by a full stop. The moral here includes There are few good offices done for other people which the benefactor does not hope to be the better for himself. So far I have been lucky enough to find four of the ten pamphlets. The original price for each pamphlet was $.75. Inflation has not been too bad! I would love to hear these works performed.
