“Mr. Murray’s Letter is come; he is a Rogue of course, but a civil one. He offers £450-but wants to have the Copyright of MP. & S&S included. It will end in my publishing for myself I dare say.–He sends more praise however than I expected.”–Jane Austen to Cassandra, Oct. 17, 1815, about her new publisher, John Murray, wanting to buy the copyrights of Emma, Mansfield Park , and Sense and Sensibility . She self-published instead.
