“To young people destined for business, this Manual supplies a variety of Technical Information such as no other book in the language offers so compactly.”—_Extract from the Author’s Preface._ EDITION DE LUXE. WITH STOTHARD’S ILLUSTRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY HEATH. _Richly bound in blue, black, and gold, gilt edges._ In one volume, demy 8vo., cloth, price 7s. 6d.; half morocco extra, 12s. 6d. =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. “Mr. Hogg is to be thanked for re-issuing the ‘Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe,’ with Stothard’s twenty-two designs engraved on copper by Charles Heath. Their charm is irresistible, and as book prints they rank among the classics of English art. They are delightful works. The text before us is complete, and well printed in a clear type. This edition is, therefore, excellent.”—_Athenæum._ “It was a happy idea of Mr. Hogg to secure the original copper-plates, and to present his handsome edition of Defoe’s masterpiece with the most appropriate illustrations that it ever received. The whole of the twenty-two engravings are given, and we can congratulate the admirers of the immortal tale, which has been more truthfully and tenderly illustrated by Stothard than by any other artist.”—_Queen._ “This is truly an _edition de luxe_ of Defoe’s masterpiece. It is beautifully printed and enriched with twenty-two full-page engravings from the drawings of Thomas Stothard, R.A., and altogether is a book to please the eye and delight the heart of all who have ‘a weak side’ to our sterling old British classics.”—_North British Daily Mail._ “An admirable edition of the immortal ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ adorned with engravings from Stothard’s celebrated designs, forming a sumptuous present.”—_Truth._ “The plates come out in this edition with the sharpness of their earliest days, and are full of force and grace. Those who get this copy of Defoe’s great work will indeed have a pleasure.”—_Scotsman._ “A book which many would desire to have on their shelves in common with other English classics. Small editions are numerous enough, but Mr. John Hogg now supplies us with a handsome library volume, which, moreover, has the advantage of Stothard’s exquisite designs engraved by Heath. The volume, a full-size 8vo., finely printed with wide margins, has a critical introduction by Henry J. Nicoll.”—_Bookseller._
