"This Dover edition, first published in 2020, is an unabridged republication of three works by Jane Austen as first published in J.E. Austen Leigh's A Memoir of Jane Austen (i.e., the second edition, published by Richard Bentley and Son, London, in 1871) and other standard editions. Lady Susan was written circa 1805. Sandition was written in 1817, and The Watsons was written circa 1803; both are novel fragments from handwritten manuscript pages. The occasional misspellings and minor consistencies that derive from the originals have been retained here for the sake of authenticity. A new introductory Note has been specially prepared for this edition.".
