Abstract

en_US This book is inscribed by Dempsey & Carroll, Art Stationers, on Union Square in New York City. Its two main sections are Shakespearean quotations and Aesop and Applications. The book's early treasures include sample fancy wedding invitations. The gleanings from Shakespere are grouped by plays. I checked the Macbeth section: a good selection of quotations from the play, unfortunately without any reference to the speaker or the scene in which they occur. The following sections present Ladies' Card Etiquette and then Bachelors' Card Etiquette. The samples are beautiful! Then there are Fifty Selected Aesop's Fables, with Applications Written over 100 Years Ago. The latter section runs for 54 pages. It starts with a title-page, a T of C, and a history of Aesop. The texts in the Aesop and Applications section give themselves away by their inclusion of the long Applications. That is, they are from Croxall's 1722 edition. This section, which is newly paginated, ends the book.
