Abstract
Neu bearbeitet und mit moralischen Anmerkungen versehen. Not in Bodemann. Sixty-six pages plus four inserted water-color illustrations. T of C at the beginning notes the four fables that have the colored illustrations. They can be at some remove from their stories, and so I note their places here: WC is the frontispiece; Eagle and Jackdaw is at 16, Lion and Fox at 38, and TB at 48 and on the cover too. The Lion and Fox is a curious fable with a curious moral. The fox gets only meager portions of their common kills and announces that he is leaving the lion's service. He makes his first attempt to get some sheep on his own and is caught and killed. The moral is Better to suffer injustice than to commit it. Gothic script throughout. This copy is very fragile. Might this book be a first edition? It does not note an edition on the title-page. I have the sixth edition, which I have listed under 1920?. That book notes its edition on the title-page.
