Book Description
Excerpt from Fifty Fables The universal use of La Fontaine's Fables in education, both in France and elsewhere, and the frequency of refer ences to them in French literature, render unnecessary any apology for this book. The editor has tried to supply what he has long felt to be urgently needed, a convenient and suitable selection of the Fables, edited in a scholarly manner with English annotation. The fifty here given, including nearly all the best known ones, and a few that are less familiar, will be as many as most classes care to read. Those who wish to devote further study to the Fables should have a complete edition, such as that of Regnier or of Clement (see Introduction, p. Regnier is here followed as to text and punctuation, except that the names of animals are not capitalized, and that a few words have been modernized; -ot't and -01'ent in verb endings are changed to -ait and - aie7zt; other changes are indicated in the notes. The editor hereby expresses his obligation to the two editions mentioned above, as well as to the other works referred to in the Introduction; Edgren and Burnet's french-english Dictionary has been useful in suggesting English renderings. The vocabulary is in tended to include every word in the text (including the Appendix, and quotations in the notes). Idiomatic phrases are to be sought in the Vocabulary, and translations are avoided in the notes. Perfect consistency has sometimes been sacrificed to convenience. Such information as seems.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fifty-One Original Fables: With Morals and Ethical Index It is probable that Fable originated in Egypt, the land of hieroglyphics, thence domiciliated itself with the Israelites, whose figurative language it suited, and finally travelled westward by the way of Greece and Rome to us-always esteemed by the learned and comprehended by the illiterate. It was adopted and imitated by each nation as it advanced in civilization, and oftentimes with much success.

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.
