Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flowers of Fable: From Northcote, Aesop, Croxall, Gellert, Dodsley, Gay, La Fontaine, Lessing, Krasicki, Harder, Merrick, Cowper, Etc The principal object of the compiler of this collection of Fables, has been to avoid all such as contain coarse, rude, or profane expressions. Not one of the numerous works of the kind, which have been offered to the public, but contains words and expressions of a doubtful tendency, extremely objectionable to every virtuous mind, and totally unfit for the perusal of youth. At the same time it will be found to be generally the case, that the moral of a fable of this description is calculated to inculcate pernicious principles: viz., treachery, cunning, revenge, etc. The compiler entertains the belief that it is a task of no more difficulty to inculcate ideas of virtue and morality, without the aid of vulgar coarseness, than it is to be witty without being blasphemous. Therefore, a thorough sifting of all the " Books of Fables" which have fallen under his observation, has been attempted; and it remains with a virtuous and enlightened community to decide whether the bread is as palatable without the bran as it has been with it.
