Excerpt from Fabul� �sopi Select�, or Select Fables of Aesop: With an English Translation as Literal as Possible

Translation of'these select Fables of ftsop, made above sixty years ago by H. Clarke, and forming the ground work of this, was, forthe time in which it was published, Without dispute excellent; but the changes, which the. Diction of the English language has sustained during so long a period, evidently point out not onlyuthe necessity of several amendments, but even that of a more just translatzon, whereby the Student may be able to un-v derstand properly the meafiing of the words he ex presses in construing: neither ought he ever to be accustomed to the use of obsolete words, nor those modes of speech, which accurate phraseology will not in an advanced stage of literature fully vindi-f cate accordingly.
