xii ^SOP'S FABLES 



obscurity of small print at the end a series of 



notes, summing up what is known as to the 



provenance of each fable. Here, again, I have 



tried to put in shorter and more readable 



form the results of my researches in the 



volume to which I have already referred. 



For more detailed information I must refer 



to the forty closely-printed pages (vol. i. pp. 



225-268) which contain the bibliography of 



the Fables.
