ions,
especially by Messrs. Macmillan in their 'Pocket Classics' series. Other
recent editions, containing a more or less independent text--arrived at
by following the earliest editions--are those edited for Messrs. Dent by
Mr. Brimley Johnson, the earliest of which appeared in 1892, and the
most recent of which has appeared in 'Everyman's Library'; the Hampshire
Edition (_published_ by Mr. Brimley Johnson, but differing considerably
from the editions which he has _edited_); and the Winchester Edition,
published by Mr. Grant Richards.

Finally, with regard to textual criticism, we have an article 'On the
printing of Jane Austen's novels,' by the late Dr. Verrall, contributed
to the _Cambridge Observer_, about 1892; and two others, also by Dr.
Verrall, 'On some passages in Jane Austen's _Mansfield Park_,' in the
_Cambridge Review_, for November 30 and December 7, 1893; and certain
emendations pointed out in a review of a new edition of _Pride and
Prejudice_ in the _Saturday Review_ of November 12, 1910.

'SENSE AND SENSIBILITY'

In this novel scarcely anything calls for notice. The main divergencies
seem to be that the editions are divided between reading 'such
happiness' and 'such an happiness,' at the end of Chapter III; between
'by all who called themselves her friends' and 'by all who call
themselves her friends,' in Chapter XXXII; and 'one of the happiest
couples' or 'one of the happiest couple,' in Chapter L.

Johnson's 1892 edition has an unfortunate blunder at the beginning of
Chapter XXXII: reading 'their effect on her was entirely such as the
former had hoped to see,' instead of 'their effect on her was not
entirely,' &c.

'PRIDE AND PREJUDICE'

1. The first passage that we consider to be frequently misprinted is in
Chapter III, where Mrs. Bennet is giving her husband an account of the
Meryton assembly, and of Mr. Bingley's partners. The first three
editions, followed by Mr. Johnson, the Winchester and Hampshire
Editions, print thus:--

'Then the two third he danced with Miss King, and
the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth
with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzie and
the Boulanger.'

'If he had had any compassion for me,' cried her
husband impatiently, 'he would not have danced
half so much! For God's sake, say no more of his
partners. O that he had sprained his ankle in the
first dance!'
