1901. Comprising fables, belles-lettres and sacred traditions. In the teachings of all these apologues there may be seen the same features of languid and unresisting acquiescence in things as they are, with a skit here and there on the oppression and ingratitude of those in power. Yet they bear a reality about them which is lacking in other productions. They come from the heart and go to the heart of the people and some of them are neat and point, if not beautiful in structure and expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
