☞ A complete, unabridged Edition of both Parts, with no curtailment of the “Further Adventures.”
“A complete, unabridged edition of ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ in which something of the old tone, which has been to a great extent sacrificed in modern versions of this boy’s classic, has been revived. Twelve of the quaint illustrations by Thomas Stothard, engraved by Heath, are given, and are in themselves a sufficient reason for giving a specially hearty welcome to this edition of Defoe’s masterpiece. But the publication will, in the eyes of its young readers at all events, find a higher recommendation in the fact that the ‘Further Adventures’ have not been subject to their usual curtailment. A short biographical sketch of Defoe and Bernard Barton’s ‘Memorial’ of Robinson Crusoe are given by way of introduction, and add appreciably to the value of the edition. The book is excellently printed and bound.”—Nottingham Daily Guardian.
“It has every feature for becoming the boy’s favourite edition of ‘Robinson Crusoe.’”—School Board Chronicle.
“This handsome volume cannot fail to command an extensive sale; it contains both parts of the immortal hero’s adventures, and is therefore properly styled a ‘complete edition.’ A portrait and brief Memoir of Defoe precedes his tale.”—Manchester Weekly Post.
“This edition of ‘boyhood’s classic’ will take rank among the best. It contains twelve illustrations by Thomas Stothard, R.A., which are all good, and a portrait of Daniel Defoe, with a well written sketch of his life. Every boy should read ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ and will if he has the chance, and no better copy could be provided than the one published by Mr. Hogg.”—Wesleyan Methodist Sunday School Magazine.
“In no more complete or attractive style could it be presented than as issued the other day by Mr. Hogg. The volume makes fully 500 pages, one half of the whole being taken up with the ‘Further Adventures,’ frequently abridged or omitted altogether from this ever fresh triumph of the story teller’s art. Printed on good paper, with large clear type, and radiant outwardly in purple and gold, this new edition is also illustrated with copies of a dozen drawings by Stothard and engraved by the elder Heath.”—Glasgow Herald.
