- Notes:
- "It has been carefully printed from the first edition," without reproducing the original orthography or punctuation.--Preface signed W.H.D.A. [id est William Henry Davenport Adams]. Adams also wrote the memoir of Defoe.
- Engravers include J.M. Corner, Jackson, and Morison. Headpieces are by Clark Stanton (compare preface, page vi).
- Although lacking that designation, the content of this volume is the same as that found in the "Household Robinson Crusoe" published by Nelson in 1871 and reissued in 1875 and 1876. This undated variant may be the same as Lovett, R.W. Robinson Crusoe, 619, which Lovett dates 188- but was not able to examine.
- In the appendix, the narrative of Selkirk on the island is Woodes Rogers'; the map is that found in part III, 'Serious reflections, ' of Robinson Crusoe, publishing in 1720. Also included are Cowper's verses and an analytical index to the biography and text.
