V. FOREIGN WORKS
Many foreign authors, translated into English, have become—some for
a generation or so, some permanently-an integral part of the nursery
library, either by their influence or in themselves. They have also, in some
instances, been identified with the work of eminent English artists, so that,
though they are not originally native, they may be called English so far as
their readers are concerned. The following are the chief instances of this
kind of acclimatization (arranged alphabetically, under authors.
Aesop, Fables of. There were many translations from an early period, from
Caxton onwards. They were adapted for children by Brinsley, John
(1624), Croxall, S. (1722), Dodsley, Richard (1761), and many others.
Noteworthy editions are—1818 (illustd by Bewick), 1848 (illustd by
