Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications

Abstract

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. The book is slightly smaller in format, but seems to use the same plates. This book belonged at one time to the Free Public Library of Summit, NJ, and to Dwight Edwards Marvin. As I mention there, I found this book three times within about two years after not finding it for some twenty years!
