Northanger Abbey and Persuasion by Jane Austen, two volumes in one book. Published by Clarendon Press, Oxford 1948. Third edition, fourth impression.

Chapman's brilliant edition of the novels was the first to use carefully collated texts from early editions of the novels and first to feature contemporary illustrations (at the time of Austen). Interesting Introduction, notes, facsimiles.
