Third impression of the 1933 third edition, 'The text is the most authoritive yet published, and is never likely to be improved. Each volume contains type facsimiles of the original title-pages, notes, and various appendixes giving chronologies, indexes of characters' - Keynes. An attractively bound edition of Jane Austen's works. (Keynes 40; Gilson E150).
