The manual of youth : containing, I. Sixty fables, French and English, ornamented with one hundred and twenty cuts, representing the subjects of the fables in the French part, and furnishing, in the English part, a series of elementary lessons, in the several styles of drawing ; II. Remarks on rhetoric, with various examples on the different styles, figures and tropes ; III. A large collection of extracts, in prose and verse, selected from the most approved authors, English and French. ''Many of the fables ... having been taken from German and Italian authors: the others are founded on what are commonly called Aesop's fables; but they have been treated in a manner which emboldens the editor to assert, that he has borrowed scarcely more than their titles.--The first and the fifty-second fables are original, and entirely belong to the author.--preface.
