Publisher description
Excerpt from Rare Books With Special Historical Interest, Royal Bindings, Important Works, From the Libraries of the Duke of Kent, Philip Earl De Grey, Thomas Foley, Lord Foley, Etc., With Additions of Splendid Items From Various American and English Libraries The autograph signature of Jane Austen, and the date, are inscribed in ten of the volumes. The Dictionary of National Biography records that as a child Miss Austen learned French. This book was doubtless much read by her while learning that language. She began to write stories in her child hood; many had been written before She was sixteen. At the end of the last volume is the list of the original subscribers. The names of Miss Burney (fanny), the Duchess of Marlborough (wife of the great Duke), Mr. Richardson (samuel, the author), are recorded.
