Abstract
-
en_US
A beautiful little book very nicely rebound in marbled boards. The title-page illustration is in the same family as that in the similar Thomas, Cowperthwait book of 1839. Here there are 105 fables; FM is missing at the end, which the T of C at the beginning announces as #106. The illustrations are primitive but very engaging. The best of them are The Old Man and Death (82) and The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (166). There are few tailpieces; what is that creature on 169? The short applications are not from Croxall. Since they seem to consist of several proverbs and or maxims, they supply what the title advertises-along with the additional saying under each illustration. Like the other books June had for me on this trip, this one represents a wonderful gift, especially treasured because it comes from her Irish collection.
