Chapter XXIII

: Nearly all editions read: 'The weather was unfavourable, and she had grieved over the rain on her friend's account.'

There was no particular 'friend' in the case, as Anne had promised to spend her morning with the Musgroves, and it seems certain we should read 'on her friends' account.'

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following list of books is confined to the main editions of the novels and, with a few exceptions, to books dealing entirely, or almost entirely, with the author. It does not attempt to include all the cheap reprints of the novels, nor all the histories of English literature, &c., which make mention of Jane Austen, nor the innumerable magazine articles that have been devoted to her and her writings.

1886 _Letters to Dead Authors._ By Andrew Lang. London: Longmans, Green & Co. 8vo.

['To Jane Austen,' pp. 75-85.]

[The first volume of _Sense and Sensibility_ contains an account of Jane Austen, pp. xi-xxxi. 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. Unfortunately, his printers introduced a good many new misprints of their own.]
