Bettany, G. T. (George Thomas)

“An edition printed in fine bold type, and containing reproductions
of Stothard’s well-known illustrations. And, what is more,
it contains not only the ‘Adventures’ but also the ‘Further
Adventures’ of Robinson Crusoe, which are often omitted from popular
editions.”—_St. James’s Gazette._
“This is one of the handsomest editions of Defoe’s immortal work
which we have seen an _edition de luxe_, indeed. It is a trite,
but in this case a perfectly fitting statement, that Mr. Hogg has
spared no expense in the production of what is at once a beautiful
gift-book, and an equally beautiful volume for the drawing-room
table.”—_Manchester Weekly Post._
“_Editions de luxe_ of standard works being in constant demand,
Mr. Hogg has done well to add to the list this handsome edition of
Defoe’s masterpiece. Stothard’s designs, it need scarcely be said,
are greatly superior to the ordinary run of book engravings, being
admirable alike as illustrations and on account of their intrinsic
merits. Altogether the book may be confidently recommended to those
who desire to possess a library edition of a work which seems
likely to maintain its proud pre-eminence, and it would not be easy
to find a work better adapted in all respects for presentation
purposes.”—_Aberdeen Free Press._
“Everybody may not be aware of this latest and most beautiful edition
of the adventures of the old York mariner. We may say then, without
qualification, that this volume is one of the most elegant that has
come out of the press this season. The sketch of Defoe is very well
done.”—_Yorkshire Gazette._
“Few of the many reprints of works of acknowledged excellence that
have been recently published will surpass the one now under notice in
intrinsic worth.”—_Glasgow Herald._
