London, J.M. Dent and Company, 1892

A handsome, illustrated set of Jane Austen's six published novels, comprising Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion, bound in half blue-green morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe.

Each novel with a short prefatory essay and bibliographical note, with a general life of the author by the editor Reginald Brimley Johnson. 'This was the first really independent issue of the novels— Bentley's edition having previously held the field. Mr Johnson, as a rule, followed the text of the latest edition which appeared in the author's lifetime' (Gilson). The text of this issue was used in Dent's edition of 1898, and a year later in the Temple edition of 1899.

First Brimley Johnson edition; 10 vols bound in 5; small 8vo (17.5 x 12 cm); titles in red and sepia within architectural frames, illustrated with photographic plates after William Cubit Cooke; half blue-green morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, blue cloth ruled in gilt, gilt spine in 6 compartments, top-edge gilt, others trimmed, spines and edges darkened, a few marks, slight staining to boards, offsetting to endpapers with minor paper loss to margins, very good.

Gilson E75.
