The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, with a Sketch of Defoe, by Henry J. Nicoll. (Printed from a new font of old-faced type.)
Note.—This is a complete, unabridged edition of Defoe’s masterpiece, with all the 22 beautiful Illustrations from the Drawings by Thomas Stothard, R.A., engraved by Charles Heath. These Illustrations are now printed from the Original Copper Plates, which were produced at great cost, and are still in perfect condition, having been steel-faced to preserve them. Copies of the Original Edition with these same plates, published by Messrs. Cadell and Davis in 1820, now fetch a high price.
