Excerpt from Aesop's Fables: With His Life, Morals, and Remarks; Fitted for the Meanest Capacities; To Which Are Added Five Other Fables in Prose and Verse "It was the Golden Age, when every brute Had voice articulate, in speech was skilled, And the mid-forests with its synods filled. The tongues of rock and pine-leaf then were free; To ship and sailor then would speak the sea; Sparrows with farmers would shrewd talk maintain; Earth gave all fruits, nor asked for toil again. Mortals and gods were wont to mix as friends. To which conclusion all the teaching tends Of sage old Ćsop." Babrius. Proem I. It is probable that Fables which have passed current under the name of Ćsop for two thousand years, will continue to bear his name as long as fables shall retain their power to instruct and charm - in other words, as long as men remain in need of instruction and reproof, and are impatient of their reception. Truth, however, calls for the assertion, that the connection of Ćsop with the collection known by his name is very slight. Nearly all that can be said with certainty is, "that there is abundant proof that fables passing under the name of Ćsop were current and popular in Athens during the most brilliant period of its literary history, and not much more than a century after the death of the supposed author." We are further told, on good authority, that of Ćsop's works, "none are extant, and of his life scarcely anything is known."
