On Saturday, at their premises in Dublin, Whyte's auctioneers will be auctioning a complete set of Richard Bentley's 1833 edition of Jane Austen's novels in five volumes: four single volumes each containing one novel, that is, of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma, and one volume containing the full text of both Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.
where "There is a monsterous deal of stupid quizzing, & common-place
nonsense talked, but scarcely any wit."
Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra, 21 April 1805

One can only dream of owning such a treasure!
oh to have such a set!!
My, that would be a treasure, indeed.
I have a leather bound book that has P&P, S&S, Northanger Abbey and Emma in it. It is my FAVORITE book. Whom ever wins this auction is truly a lucky person.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall-there will be a lot of action over this!
