Chapter I: Front Matter

Transcriber’s Note: The period spelling and grammar of 1669 is retained unchanged, including many inconsistencies. Some obvious typographical errors have been corrected. The Roman numerals of the fables have been checked and corrected where necessary, as have the reference numbers in the alphabetical index (though some fables are missing from the index entirely, and others appear twice).
