Octavo. 26, (1)pp. A clever riff on Defoe's tale, abridged and adapted to a jocular, schoolboy's tone, or, as the cover title indicates, for "admirers of native but uncultured genius." With twelve full-page illustrations rendered in the style of chalk on slate. Bound in yellow wrappers lightly soiled and with spine professionally repaired. Very good. A scarce, earlier issuance of the title by McLoughlin. Inscription of former owner to interior of front cover.
