- Lot Description
This is another Croxall book titled “Fables of Aesop, And Others: Translated Into English. With Instructive Applications: And A Print Before Each Fable.” It was written by Samuel Croxall and is the nineteenth edition, carefully received and improved, and published in London in 1811 by F. C. and J. Rivington et al.
It comes with a typed note that reads”12 mo. Contemporary marbled sheep, upper joint expertly restored, the lower joint just starting to crack but still firm, new red morocco label … woodcut frontispiece by Charlton Nesbit, and with a woodcut to each Fable; a very good copy.”
It adds that “Samuel Croxall’s much reprinted edition of Aesop was first published in 1722. Croxall, a prominent theologian of his day, intended his translation to supersede all previously published versions, particularly that of Roger L’Estrange which had appeared in 1692” and a price of £298 - 298 pounds - near the top of the note, so the book was expensive at the time it was purchased.
The spine has six compartments with horizontal gilt-rules between each one, the red morocco label with gilt letters, the marbled sheep covers, blank endpapers with “1812” on the first end-paper in front, the Nesbit woodcut, then the title page followed by a page which says the book was printed at Swan and Son on Fleet Street in London, then a dedication page to Lord Halifax dated May 1722 by Croxall, a Preface (viii - xix), five pages for The Table Of Contents, 329 pages text, and the eight-page Index at the rear.
The book measures 7 x 4 1/2 inches wide and is in very good condition. The binding is tight and the pages and text are very clean, the gilt on the spine is bright, and the typed note sums up the condition of the book very well. There is scraping above the “1812” on the front endpaper and light loss on the crown of the spine, and that’s really it for blemishes in the book, and a nice copy of this Aesop title by Croxall.
Size: 7 x 4 1/2 in.
