Entitled "First Impressions", it was offered by her father to Thomas Cadell on 1 November 1797 as a novel in three volumes "about the length of Miss Burney's Evelina".

Lacking the Standard Novels title. In contemporary half leather armorial binding with the arms of Fulwar Craven of Brockhampton Park to the base of the spine, and his bookplate to the front endpaper. The binding has been rebacked preserving the original spine, which has gilt ruled compartments with a blind stamped design. A new title label has been added. The marbled boards are scuffed, particularly the rear board. New endpapers have been added, with the armorial bookplate retained. The contents have been restitched and are sound and tight. There is a small professional paper repair to the top margin of p1. A new tissue guard has been added at the frontispiece. Contents in very good clean condition with the very occasional small spot.

London: Richard Bentley, 1839. Dark brown-black half-leather with blue-green boards. Spine missing, pages coming loose and brittle from age, but all pages are present with the exception of the bottom half of page 159/160. Owner's signature on title page appears to be from the 19th century as well. Still, a scarce book. Engraved frontis, as well as an illustrated title page. 340 pp.. Hard Cover. Poor. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

London : George Allen , 1894 A very good copy of the 1st publication of the 'Peacock Edition' of Pride and Prejudice with illustrations by Hugh Thomson. In the original green decorative cloth binding with spectacular gilt peacock design to front board and gilt designs to spine. Top page edges gilt, remainder untrimmed. With numerous black and white illustrations by Thomson. The binding has been rebacked retaining the original spine and the book is therefore sound and tight. The original black endpapers have been retained with professional repair at the joints. The gilt decoration is slightly dulled to the front board and more so to the spine, which is cocked to the front. Board corners lightly turned. Contents are generally very bright and clean with the odd mark and spot. There is light toning to the paper; marking in the top margin of pp 218/9 which is faintly mirrored on the pages immediately preceding and following; and a browned area where a piece of newspaper was used as a bookmark on pp 454/5.

In probably contemporary half leather binding with silk boards, which has been rebacked more recently to provide a new spine. The spine has gilt-lined raised bands and title and author labels. The binding is in very good condition, being clean and sound, with some light bubbling and marking to the boards and some wear to the leather corners.

Some corners with light folds. Small fray to upper corner tip to p81 and light marks to endpapers. A very nice copy.

London : Richard Bentley A good to very good copy of an early Richard Bentley edition of Pride and Prejudice newly rebound in half leather with marbled boards. The binding, with gilt-lined raised bands to spine, is in fine condition. Page edges marbled. New endpapers. This copy lacks a letterpress title page or series title page; having only a black and white frontispiece and vignette title page dated 1833. The vignette title page was re-used in later editions during the 1830's-50's, retaining its 1833 date. This means that this book was published before 1860, but it is not possible to pin the date down further. The contents are in very good clean condition. The frontispiece and vignette title are a little spotty (as usual) and there is a small stain to the bottom outer corners of both. Text pages have the occasional light spot - most obvious in the bottom margins of pp circa p 244.

London:: J.M. Dent ,, 1907.. First Edition thus. Hardcover. Twelvemo, about 7.75 inches (19.5 cm) tall, in the publisher's gilt decorated vellum. 336 pages illustrated by 24 color plates by Charles Brock. A lovely volume that was part of a six volume set. Brock had illustrated Austen some years before with other illustrators including his brother, but only in uncolored drawings. The illustrated endpapers are moderately toned; the text to a lesser extent but still obvious. The vellum, as is often the case in a dry climate, has shrunk causing the covers to bow and leaving the hinges a little tight. It should resolve itself in higher humidity. Otherwise clean and unmarked with the vellum slightly yellowed.
