Robinson Crusoe is one of the books which was copied by very many publishers without permission, before there were any copyright laws. I have such a copy, dated 1759, leatherbound, in two volumes. There were so many copies that this is worth only about �25.
A late Victorian version is likely to be worth very little.

I have to agree with heathfield.
As Robinson Crusoe was written in 1719, an edition from 1894 will be worth very little.
With books the value is all in the age,rairty value and condition.
Yours is not very old,has (probably) little rarity value,and so the condition would be something that would not come into it.
Sorry.
