Illustrated by Engravings. 24mo (5 ¾" x 3 ¾"); 24pp; pale peach wrapper, front wrapper title and publisher surrounded by a border of fancy printer's ornaments (a sid-wheeler steam ship on the top flying an American flag, and an open double-decker railroad car at the bottom), a vignette of flowers under the title; the rear wrapper is a publisher's ad for his "CHEAP BOOKSTORE" at 199 Main Street, Worcester; publisher's string binding; engraved vignette of a fox on the title page; 3 full page illustrations, head and tail piece; soiling to wrapper, title and first page with damage to fore-edge not extending into the print area, spotting throughout; very good minus. (AAS 223140). Fourteen fables from Aesop, some told in rhyming verse: The Fox and the Grapes, The Fox and the Tortoise, The Shepherd's Boy, The Fox and the Goat, The Ass in the Lion's Skin, The Dog and the Water Dog, The Wolf and the Crane, The Dog in the Manger; Hercules and the Clown, The Lark and Her Yonug [sic] Ones, The Doves and Hawk, The Groom and the Horse, The Lion and Other Beasts, and The Owl and the Nightingale. This copy has the misspelled fable title "The Lark and Her Yonug Ones" on page 17. Page 24 has an engraving of a large tree, a person holding a gun on one side and a goat on the other. There are variants with the spelling corrected and an engraving showing a tent under a tree. This may be an earlier imprint with the uncorrected spelling.
