D., late Archdeacon of Hereford Publisher: Thomas Cowperthwait & Co., Philadelphia Year: 1847 Details: Rebound in modern brown buckram case with original leather spine title affixed to spine. Frontispiece, 198 woodcuts. 356 pp. [listed as 358 in book; leaf preceding title page absent in this copy]; 6.25 x 4 in. Additional information: “In 1722 appeared the well-known ‘Fables of Æsop and others.’ The quaint woodcuts of the first edition have been familiar to many generations of the young. The remarkable popularity of these fables, of which editions are still published, is to be accounted for by their admirable style. They are excellent examples of naïve, clear, and forcible English. They were written especially for children and schools, but in their original form some at least may shock modern ideas of decency.” [Dictionary of National Biography]
