Illustrated with one hundred engravings, including a folding frontispiece. A collection of the fables attributed to Aesop, a Greek fabulist and storyteller noted for his tales characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters. Many of the tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. This collection includes titles such as: The Cock and the Jewel, The Frogs Desiring a King, and The Kite and the Pigeons, amongst others. With instructive moral applications from Samuel Croxall, an Anglican churchman, writer and translator, particularly noted for his edition of Aesop's Fables. With thirty-two leaves of publisher's advertisements to the rear. Dated from York Minster. In the original full green cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with minor age toning to the endpapers. Very Good Indeed.
