It would be difficult to find a more suitable story

for Mr. E. MacKnight Kauffer to illustrate than The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a new edition of which Messrs. Etchells and Macdonald have published this year at £2 12s. 6d. It is a book which everybody will desire to possess. The illus- trations, which have been coloured by hand by the " Pochoir " process, are bold, vigorous, rugged, and crude ; their mas- culinity fits their theme to perfection. The general production is also very good.
