France, Germany, and Holland, where the Author is well known, than
any production that has appeared for some years. This Fifth Edition,

plates, whereas the French has but six; the Baron’s Adventures at
Gibraltar are prohibited in the French and Dutch editions, but given in
full length in this English impression.
Price Half-a-Crown sewed.
_The Rapidity of the Sale of the_ first _and_ second _Editions of the
