Abstract

en_US The title-page continues: Divided into Sections, and the Two Languages answering almost verbatim for the Greater Conveniency of Learners. The Whole adorned with Cuts. Designed principally for Schools. This is a lovely find! The title-page has suffered but the text remains intact. There are several pages added before it for its protection. The covers themselves are paper. There is a T of C at the bottom of the introduction, just before the first fable. Each fable is in two columns for the two languages. Above these two columns is a lively woodcut. Many of the animal faces are rendered as almost human. The fables seem to be standard Aesop, complete with morals in both languages. The work stops abruptly in the middle of the last fable on 138. It is not clear how much may have been lost. The early s is evident in this book. The change would come in the next generation.
