First edition
London: Printed for T. Egerton, Military Library, Whitehall. 1814. Vols. 1 and 3 printed by G. Sidney, Volume 2 printed by C. Roworth.
Published in 1814 in a run of an estimated 1,250 to 1,500 copies, the first edition of Mansfield Park proved another success when it sold out by the fall of the same year (Gilson). Future King George IV, the Prince Regent's love for the novel resulted in Jane Austen dedicating Emma to him after his librarian, James Stanier Clark, invited her to Carlton Hall and corresponded with her by letter, writing, "Your late works, Madam, and in particular Mansfield Park reflect the highest honour on your genius and your principles. In every new work your mind seems to increase its energy and power of discrimination. The Regent has read and admired all your publications."
