- Title
An Overlooked Æsop from Samuel Richardson's Press.
- Authors
Dussinger, John A.
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "Æsop Unveil'd" is presented. It includes a collection of the author's fables in verse printed by Samuel Richardson well before his 1739-40 collection in prose based on Sir Roger L'Estrange's version. The two-page Preface of the book details the advantage of the fable as a means of giving the reader both profit and delight.
