Author: AESOP. CROXALL (Samuel):
Title: Fables of AEsop and Others: Translated into English. With Instructive Applications; and a print before each fable. The Sixteenth Edition, carefully revised andimprovef
Description: London: Printed for C. Dilly...[inter alia], 1798. 12mo, 168 x 100 mms., pp. xxiv, [xii], 329 [330 - 336 Index], engraved woodcut for each of the 196 fables, recently rebound in half calf, marbled boards, gilt spine, red leather label; corner torn from B1 (pp. 1 - 2) with loss of texts, title-page soiled with contemporary scribbles in ink on verso, other ink scribbles and wear, not a salubrious copy. Given that editions of Croxall's Fables are not exactly uncommon, I am not sure why someone would have spent any money on rebinding the work. Part of a job lot, I offer it as a curiosity.
