The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. (S.' 0. Beeton.) — Another illustrated edition

of a book which will be read so long as there are children. It is in octavo, gilt-edged, and bound in ornamented cloth covers. The typo and paper leave the reader nothing to desire ; but of the illustrations, which are by Mr. T. H. Nicholson, we cannot speak quite as favourably. The coloured prints are coarse and singularly inharmonious in colour, while some of the smaller woodcuts, which deserve the highest praise, bear, notwithstanding the title-page, the names of other artists. That at page 67 is signed by Mr. Weir, at page 121 by Mr. Prior, andat page 154 by Mr. Birket Foster.
