Collected by her finest biographer and editor, this outstanding collection of Austen's letters to her beloved sister was first published in two volumes in 1932. In this edition 'a few necessary corrections have been made in the text, a lately-discovered letter has been added, and a more interesting illustration [of Steventon Rectory] subsitiuted for one less interesting'. Increasingly difficult to find in this condition. Gilson G6.
