- Abstract
- en_US One of the strangest and most fascinating books I have, representative of nineteenth-century use of the fable. The object in these pages is to convey moral and religious instruction to the mind in a forcible manner, in accordance with the great principles of Christianity (34). About one-fourth of the lessons build around ninety-one fables, listed alphabetically on 8. The 114 illustrations and their proverbs are listed on 10. The engravings are two-thirds on boxwood and one-third on metal. Barber admits his dependence on Croxall, especially for applications. Differently told: The Cat and the Monkey (100) and The Master and the Corks (399). Typical illustrations: lying and stealing (226), litigious cats (244), dog invited to supper (426), and FK (445). The book is severely broken at 269 and partially broken at 168 and 240.
