Edit to citation (ply, Etymology 2)

I've reverted this edit as I can't see any reason for it. Do let me know if there was something wrong with the original citation that you feel you were correcting. Aabull2016 (talk) 03:21, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Aabull2016 That's odd; the English Wikipedia seemed to indicate that the 1692 edition of the work was the earliest, but it does appear that there is an earlier 1669 edition (and it is the third, so presumably there is an even earlier first edition). Let me investigate, and update {{RQ:L'Estrange Fables of Aesop}}. Thanks for highlighting this. — SGconlaw (talk) 03:31, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Aabull2016 It looks like "1669" was a misprint. The third edition of L'Estrange's work was published in 1699. Thus, it would be better to quote from the 1st (1692) edition. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:08, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for checking into it, and for your quick response! Aabull2016 (talk) 06:55, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Aabull2016: no worries! — SGconlaw (talk) 06:56, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
