Abstract
-
en_US
The sub-title here is worth noticing: With an English Translation, more Literal than any yet extant, Designed for the Readier Instruction of Beginners in the Latin Tongue. Compare this edition with my 1802 Philadelphia edition. Changes include the printer (now Lydia Bailey); the subscribers (I find only the names Conrad and Carey recurring); and the typesetting of the title-page. In fact, the whole book seems newly typeset, as is suggested by the capital letters no longer used on the first two-column page. We still have 202 fables. The last pages are advertisements for (other?) books published by M. Carey; there had been no such advertisements at the end of the 1802 edition. This book is inscribed in 1818 on the title-page, the outer corner of which is torn away. The binding is deteriorating. See my comments on the 1802 Philadelphia edition and on the 1784 London and 1787 Boston editions before it.
