Note

In this edition, there is no preliminary gathering containing an illustrated alphabet, and there is an upper and lower case Roman and Italic alphabet on the verso of the titlepage.

Includes 12 select fables, each with a woodcut illustration.

One of several impressions probably printed between 1795 and 1810.

Evans 11634 is dated 1770? and Evans 25399 is dated 1793. Both dates seem too early.
