NORTHANGER ABBEY 

by
Jane Austen
(1803) 

ADVERTISEMENT BY THE AUTHORESS, TO NORTHANGER ABBEY 

THIS little work was finished in the year 1803, and intended
for immediate publication.  It was disposed of to a bookseller,
it was even advertised, and why the business proceeded
no farther, the author has never been able to learn.
That any bookseller should think it worth-while to
purchase what he did not think it worth-while to publish
seems extraordinary.  But with this, neither the author
nor the public have any other concern than as some
observation is necessary upon those parts of the work
which thirteen years have made comparatively obsolete.
