Abstract
-
en_US
A British reprint of The World edition? I note several changes from there: the frontispiece reads The New Aesop. The title page shows Aesop in a robe and turban. After (1) the frontispiece and (2) the title page, there is (3) a picture of a bull reading, (4) a poem, and (5) a picture of an alligator, a dog, and a penguin. The Merchant of Venice then begins the fables on 7. After 54, there is a page of Mack ads. Included in this edition but not in my 1878 edition are three fables from Bret Harte (10, 40, 48) and even one falsely attributed to him (28). See The Improved Aesop for Intelligent Modern Children (1946) by Bret Harte, which contains Charles Meeker Kozlay's essay The Piracy of Bret Harte's Fables.
