Published by JOHN HOGG, 13, Paternoster Row, London, E.C. "Among the multitude of publishers who issue books suitable for presents, Mr. Hogg holds a high place. A catalogue of his publications, samples of which lie before us, contains a number of useful and interesting works eminently suitable for presentation to young people of both sexes, and they contain as much reading at as low a price as any books in the market."-Pall Mall Gazette. "Mr. John Hogg is always successful in producing an attractive array of books for youthful readers, and we ought to add, that all his publications are prettily got up."-Bristol Mercury. "A wide field of variety, and some of the strongest elements of romantic interest, are covered by and comprised in the books published by Mr. Hogg."-School Board Chronicle. "The youth of both sexes are under deep obligations by the publication of Mr. Hogg's very interesting and attractive volumes. It is a great object to attract the young to the habitual practice of reading. That can only be accomplished by putting into their hands books which will interest and amuse them, and at the same time furnish them with useful knowledge, and with sound lessons of a moral, judicious, and sensible character, calculated to be useful to them as they advance in years."-Dundee Courier and Argus. "A series of excellent books for boys is published by Mr. John Hogg, London."Scotsman. "Mr. Hogg is a famous caterer in the way of books for youth. All his books are excellent of their class; they are amply illustrated, and it seems as though Mr. Hogg had resolved to be the special caterer in healthy literature for the youngsters, and his publications are well adapted to the various stages of growth of both sexes."-Indian Daily News.

PUBLISHED BY JOHN HOGG, 13, Paternoster Row, LONDON, E.C. Dedicated, by express permission, to Sir FREDERICK LEIGHTON, President of the Royal Academy of Arts. PRINTED IN BROWN INK, WITH TWELVE FLORAL ILLUSTRATIONS, AND THE BINDING DESIGNED BY LUKE LIMNER, F.S.A. 66 Imperial 16mo., cloth, bevelled boards, interleaved, 432 pages, price 4s. 6d., gilt edges. The Birthday-Book of Art and Artists. Compiled and Edited by ESTELLE DAVENPORT ADAMS, Editor of "Rose Leaves," "Illustrated Floral Text-Book," "Flower and Leaf," etc. NOTE.-This Birthday Book is intended as something more than a receptacle for the signatures of relatives and friends. An effort has been made to render the volume both useful and interesting, and the Compiler has not only introduced into the body of the book, under the dates of their births, the names of as many Artists of all ages and countries as circumstances would allow, but has appended to nearly all the names a short list of the most popular (and, of contemporaries, the latest) of the artist's works, with references to biographies and criticisms. In an Appendix there is given a Supplementary List of Artists, whose exact birthdays could not be discovered, and a list of Writers on Art. Interspersed throughout the book will be found a variety of extracts in prose and verse on the subject of Art in general and of artists in particular, the endeavour having been to provide something which should have value not alone as an ornament for the drawing-room table, but as a collection of useful facts and as a treasury of interesting dicta on the general topics of art. EDITION DE LUXE. WITH STOTHARD'S ILLUSTRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY HEATH. In one volume, demy 8vo., cloth, 10s. 6d. ; half morocco extra, gilt edges, 16s. NICOLL. NOTE. This is a complete, unabridged edition of Defoe's masterpiece, with all the twenty-two beautiful Illustrations from the Drawings by THOMAS STOTHARD, R.A., engraved by CHARLES HEATH. These Illustrations are now printed from the Original Copper Plates, which were produced at great cost, and are still in perfect condition, having been steel-faced to preserve them. Copies of the Original Edition containing these plates, published by Messrs. Cadell and Davis in 1820, now fetch a high price in the auction rooms. "Mr. Hogg is to be thanked for re-issuing the 'Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe,' with Stothard's twenty-two designs engraved on copper by Charles Heath. Their charm is irresistible, and as book prints they rank among the classics of English art. They are delightful works. The text before us is complete, and well printed in a clear type. This edition is, therefore, excellent."-Athenæum. "It was a happy idea of Mr. Hogg to secure the original copper-plates, and to present his handsome edition of Defoe's masterpiece with the most appropriate illustrations that it ever received. The whole of the twenty-two engravings are given, and we can congratulate the admirers of the immortal tale, which has been more truthfully and tenderly illustrated by Stothard than by any other artist."-Queen. "This is truly an edition de luxe of Defoe's masterpiece. It is beautifully printed and enriched with twenty-two full-page engravings from the drawings of Thomas Stothard, R. A., and altogether is a book to please the eye and delight the heart of all who have a weak side to our sterling old British classics."-North British Daily Mail. "An admirable edition of the immortal Robinson Crusoe,' adorned with engravings from Stothard's celebrated designs, forming a sumptuous present."-Truth. "The plates come out in this edition with the sharpness of their earliest days, and are full of force and grace. Those who get this copy of Defoe's great work will indeed have a pleasure."-Scotsman. "A book which many would desire to have on their shelves in common with other English classics. Small editions are numerous enough, but Mr. John Hogg now supplies us with a handsome library volume, which, moreover, has the advantage of Stothard's exquisite designs engraved by Heath. The volume, a full-size 8vo., finely printed with wide margins, has a critical introduction by Henry J. Nicoll."-Bookseller. "An edition printed in fine bold type, and containing reproductions of Stothard's wellknown 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. "One of the finest gift-books of the season. It contains the illustrations designed by Thomas Stothard, and engraved by Charles Heath, for Cadell's edition, in 1820, which now commands a high price. The designs are beautiful in themselves, and are reproduced with admirable delicacy and clearness. The book is printed in fine readable type. It contains a short biography of Defoe, written by Mr. Henry J. Nicoll. It would be hard to find a better edition of this popular classic work."-Inverness Courier. "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.
