The headmaster of Rugby at this time was the Reverend John Wooll, notorious for his floggings; after his resignation in 1828, he was succeeded by the redoubtable Thomas Arnold, whose reforms long influenced English education. Slight loss of cloth to front board (about 2 x .5 inches), some offsetting from plates, occasional minor foxing. Overall very good copy of a nice Ackermann printing.

Name stamp to margin of Preface, edge browned and some fingering & soiling, a few leaves with edge wear with 3 leaves with 3mm tears to blank margins only. A well loved and well used Aesop with charming AQUATINT PLATES.

A few text pages with minor ink spots but nothing defacing. The first Ogilby edition herewith has the D'Avenant poem dated 165, and is thus more difficult to come by than later editions. With all, still a very presentable and certainly scarce mid-17th Century Aesop title, first edition thus.
