Edited by Reginald Brimley Johnson with tissue guarded illustrations by William C. Cooke and ornaments by F.C. Tilney. Each volume has the stamp in red ink for Major PT Keightley, The Blues & Royals to the front paste down in the Ex Libris imprinted space. Bound in the original light green buckram, with gilt titles to the spine and on to the front board with gilt vignette surrounding the title and gilt facsimile of Jane Austen's signature. Page edges uncut, a very attractive edition. A few slight marks and most of the volumes cocked front to back - see photos. The text is based on the last edited edition published in the author’s lifetime. The illustrations here by William Cubitt Cooke (1866-1951) are the first attempt at period-appropriate representation, with Regency dress and furnishings. Dent's publication is also notable as the first of Austen's works to include any critical apparatus, albeit slight (R Brimley Johnson's prefaces). It consists of: Vol I & II – Sense and Sensibility. Vol III & IV – Pride and Prejudice. Vol V & VI – Mansfield Park. Vol VII & VIII – Emma. Vol IX – Northanger Abbey. Vol X – Persuasion.
