Abstract: en_US This small (4 x 6¼) book has leather covers, and the front cover is nicely embossed Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. I wonder what their relationship is to the book. Plumptre, who also edited One Hundred Fables in Verse by Various Authors in 1825, here selects some thirty-two of Gay's fifty first volume fables and then fourteen of the seventeen in his later posthumous collection. I can understand what selected means. What might revised mean? There is no Fable XXVI here in the first collection but there are two fables marked XXVII. No illustrations. A tight little book of 157 pages.
