Complete Works of Jane Austen (436 page)

There was no particular ‘friend’ in the case, as Anne had promised to spend her morning with the Musgroves, and it seems certain we should read ‘on her friends’ account.’

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following list of books is confined to the main editions of the novels and, with a few exceptions, to books dealing entirely, or almost entirely, with the author. It does not attempt to include all the cheap reprints of the novels, nor all the histories of English literature, &c., which make mention of Jane Austen, nor the innumerable magazine articles that have been devoted to her and her writings. Many of these last, however, will be found recorded in the bibliographies included in Mr. Goldwin Smith’s and Mr. Oscar Fay Adams’s volumes.
