In three Volumes. By the Author of Vol. I. [Vol. II.] [Vol. III.] London: Demy 12mo.

Vol. I. Half Title, "C. Roworth as printer on verso, I leaf; Title and Dedication to the Prince Regent, 2 leaves, + pp. 322.

Vol. III. Half Title, "J. Moyes" as printer on verso, I leaf; Title, I leaf, + PP. 363.

The dedication to the Prince Regent was a result of Miss Austen's visit in November, 1815, to the library of Carlton House. The librarian, the Rev. J. S. Clarke, was a friend of her brother's. It was intimated that should leave be asked to dedicate her next novel to the Prince, it would be graciously granted. The hint was taken, and permission given on November 15th, 1815.

In a letter from Hans Place, November 24th, 1815, the authoress says: "The printer has been waiting for paper-the blame is thrown upon the stationer. The 1st and 3rd vols. are now at 144, the 2nd at 48. We are not to have the trouble of returning the sheets to Mr. Murray any longer, the printers' boys bring and carry." On December 11th "they were near publication."

This uncut copy, in the original boards, has been substituted for the copy cut and bound in the 1886 Catalogue of the Rowfant Library.

The first volume is perfect, without the half title.

"Northanger Abbey," although posthumous, had been written in 1798, and parted with in 1803 for £10 to a Bath publisher (thought by Mr. Austin Dobson to have been Mr. Bull of the Circulating Library), who did not think it worth his while to print it. Miss Austen, years after, through her brother, regained her MS. for its original price. The buyer had never recognized it as "by the Author of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice."

Jane Austen must have possessed a delightful personality. From accounts that have been left by people who knew her she seems to have had at once great dignity and charm of
