Notes:Chinese title at head of t.p.
"The following fables were selected indiscriminately from Esop--Phedrus--Ananius [i.e. Avianus]--Barlandus &c. &c. &c., but all published under the general name ... of Esop's fables. These were delivered orally at different times, in Mandarin Chinese, by the compiler [Robert Thom] to his native teacher; who being a good penman, found little difficulty in writing them off, in the simple easy style in which they are composed."--Preface, p. [2].
