}" ROBINSON CRUSOE”

A BOOK THAT HELPED TO MAKE THE EMPIRE.

If it were possible for the author of "Robinson Crusoe" to walk along Euston Road, London, and enter the bookshop of Mfr. R. R. Trout, he would be even more amazed than was his immor- tal hero when he discovered "the print of a man's naked foot on the shore" of what he thought was an uninhabited island.

Daniel Defoe would find library of hundreds of volumes, on their shelves — thin, fat, tall, euch a copy of his famous work, but differing in some respect from its companions. Many are in strange languages. Some of them are printed in quaint characters, and begin where English books leave off; the reader starts at the hottom of the last page and fol lows the type upwards.

There they stand in bold array on their shelves--thin, fat, tall, short, illustrated, plctureless, some in rich bindings and others in ordinary garb, valued at a few

shillings or паву pounds. "Robinson Crusoe" was first pub- fished over 200 years ago, but its glory remains untarnished.

Mr. Trout started this wonder- fal collection beenuse of the mighty influence of "Robinson Crusoe" in helping to make the British Empire.

Frank T. Bullen, the writer of sca stories, cast away on a deso- Inte coral reef as a boy of twelve, with other men:bers of a ship- wrecked crew, felt no terror, but rather gloried in his lonely sur- roundings "because they were so familiar to me through my read- ing of Robinson's diary."

The bearded adventurer with the high goat-skin hat has inspir- ed men to carry the Union Jack to the world's desolate places as no other person, real or imaginary, has ever done..
