"Moll Flanders", he claims, "is the fountainhead of the vast flood of what we have come to call novels. There had been nothing like it before." The text used here is that of the first edition which has hitherto been very difficult to obtain; Dr. Herbert Davis contributes a note on it.'

Paperback. Etat : Good. Defoe's Tour Through the Whole island of Great Britain, first published in three volumes in 1724-26, is an account of 13 circuits or journies made by the renowned author of such books as Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders. This abridged edition is also the first illustrated version. Defoe's famous text is now complemented by contemporary paintings, sketches, and engravings of places he visited, industrial processes, activities and events he described, and people he knew. Many of these illustrations are little known, and some have never before been reproduced. Defoe's Tour has been the most often-quoted source for early 18th century British social and economic history. It is also a.…

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. A scarce first edition of this early Japanese translation of "Robinson Crusoe". Defoe's novel experienced great popularity in the Meiji period, and many different editions of it were published. Illustrated first editions such as this, however, are now quite difficult to find. The translator, Inoue Tsutomu, famous for writing some of the first Japanese translations of influential texts by figures like Shakespeare, Thomas More, and Jules Verne, "treated Crusoe as a fictional character, not as an actual person, but he also asserted that the novel was no mere adventure story and that it served to teach young Englishmen to overcome hardship" ("Modern Japanese thought", Wakabayashi, 1998). An early translation of the classic novel by one of the most prominent Japanese translators of the 1880s. Boards covered with paper by an ex-owner. Boards and spine a little worn, corners bumped. Washi repairs to board gutters. Browning, ex-bookseller sticker and stamps to endpapers. Discolouration and occasional small marks to text. Light pencil notes to preface. Loss to margin of one illustrated plate (not affecting illustration). Overall very good. 1 v., complete. 10, 410 p. 19.7 x 13.8 cm. Text in Japanese.…
