Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"I don't think you are very good walking," it said. "I am a little particular about what I have underfoot. Suppose you get off into the water."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of Fables: With Many Engravings The fox being an animal remarkable for his cunning, and for the address with which he procures his food and avoids danger, we find him a very prominent character in the fables of Esop and others. It must be confessed, however, that many things are put to his account and laid to his charge, with which he could not have had anything to do; and I rather think that if he could be made to understand this fable, he would clear himself at once of all suspicions regarding depredations in a vineyard: a hen-house I fancy, is much more to his taste, and here his artifices and success are wonderful. However, we must let Esop te'l his story in his own way, merely accomodating him with a few rhymes, which we hope will convey his meaning.

Book Description
Excerpt from Aesop's Fables In presenting to the little readers this book of Fables, no wish is entertained to create in them a belief that there ever was a time when beasts and birds could talk. A fable is a feigned narration, designed to convey instruction. The practice of teaching in this way is of very ancient origin, and is continued to this day. Reproof thus administered has often produced the desired effect when open rebuke would have served only to offend or irritate. Most of these fables are attributed to AEsop, a person whose history is involved in ranch obscurity. We know but little more of him than that he lived in a remote period of time, and wrote many amusing and instructive tables.
