Attempt Contributed or not to the Emprovement of these Fables either in the Wording or in the Meaning of them the Book must Stand or Fall to it self But this I shall Adventure to Pronounce upon the whole Matter that the Text is English and the Morals in some sort Accommodate to the Allegory which could hardly be said of All the Translations or Reflexions before-mention'd which have serv'd in truth or at least some of them rather to teach us what we should Not do then what we should So that in the Publishing of these Papers I have done my Best to Obviate a Common Inconvenience or to speak Plainly the Mortal Error of pretending to Erect a Building upon a False Foundation Leaving the whole World to take the same Freedom with Me that I have done with Others Provided that they do not Impute the Faults and the Mis-Pointings of the Press to the Author and that they Consult the Errata for other Mistakes AN Alphabetical Table Referring to the NUMBER of the Respective FABLES A   FAB
