Abstract

en_US See my comments on my 1870 Old Friends and New Faces. Might it have been a cheaper knock-off of this book? The order of the sections has changed, for there QC, AF, and Cock Sparrow (not the longer title here) followed the title-story. Where that Crusoe section was in verse, this one is in prose. The typesetting for all the texts appears to be different in the two editions This edition follows the same pattern of facing texts and interleaved blank pages, and the Aesop illustrations are the same. The Aesop texts are different in the two editions. The Kronheim illustrations are intact here and not scribbled upon. The frontispiece and the pages preceding it are loose. See my comments there. What a bargain! This front cover is also embossed in gold, but its picture is of Robinson Crusoe, with Friday just behind him. There is a comprehensive list of illustrations just after the title-page..
