Excerpt from Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists: In Three Books
The fables of Esop have always been esteemed the best lessons for youth, as being well adapted to convey the most useful maxims, in a very agreeable manner. Accordingly, many writers both in verse and prose, have endeavored to clothe them in an English dress. It would ill become the Author of this work to animadvert upon their labours: but he thinks it may be said with truth, and he also hopes with modesty, that nothing of this kind, which has been published in prose, can justly discourage him from the present undertaking.
