Abstract
Here is the 1923 reprinting of an 1895 original. The cover, title-page, and the verso of the title-page have been reset. The series Eclectic Readings is no longer mentioned, as it was on the cover there. Otherwise the book seems identical. As I wrote there, this is a school reader in good condition. About twenty-six fables are presented in the book. While the illustrations for the other offerings vary widely, the fable illustrations are consistent: good small rectangles by an artist whose initials are FJC or FSC. The editor seems to have kept his pledge that in none of the fables has he altered the generally accepted order of the narrative, or changed the purport of the lesson intended to be taught. Thus I find nothing unusual to report here!
