Abstract
See my comments on this curious acquisition on Volume 1. As in that case, so in this: the pages are very brittle. This should be the first book to be repaired when we get money to repair books! So this is Volume 2 of a small pair of volumes, 3⅞" by 6", with six images, each derived from one of the fables of its book. The largest is about 2½ by 1½". In this volume, there is no frontispiece. The six smaller illustrations in this volume are VII 10 (MM, 29); VIII 2 ("The Banker and the Shoemaker," 56); IX 4 ("The Acorn and the Pumpkin," 129); X 10 ("The Shepherd and the King," 190); XI 2 ("The Gods Wanting to Instruct a Son of Jupiter," 214); XII 14 ("Love and Folly," 278).
