After nearly two months they were rescued and the crew published an account accusing the commander Deane and his brother of deliberately wrecking the ship as an insurance fraud.

Payne... and T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies, 1796. *** A very good Edgeworth/Burney/Austen association copy of Burney's enormously popular novel. The list of subscribers includes Edmund Burke, Sir William Chambers, Humphry Repton, Mrs Siddons, and Maria Edgeworth herself. The annotation from Edgworth is the cutting insertion "this is worse than folly" to vol.1 p.12 margin, next to a passage of Eugenia passionately discussing Bellamy.  Also included in the list of subscribers was a young and unknown Jane Austen (aged 20), as well as Warren Hastings (godfather to Austen's first cousin and sister-in-law Eliza de Feuillide). Austen was obviously familiar with Fanny Burney's works and, following the issue of Camilla in 1796, in October of that year she began writing a novel titled False Impressions which later became Pride and Prejudice, a title possibly taken from a quotation in Burney's Cecilia. She also refers to Camilla in Northanger Abbey: "'And what are you reading, Miss - ?' 'Oh! It is only a novel!' replies the young lady, while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. "It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language."

Originally published in two privately printed editions of 250 and 200 copies (December 1901 and February 1902, respectively), this first trade edition was the first in which all of Potter's designs are printed in color. Leslie Linder records that 2000 copies from the first printing of 8000 were issued in "green cloth, light green cloth or olive-green cloth". This mustard-yellow cloth variant is therefore unrecorded by Linder, making it perhaps the rarest of the different deluxe issues of Peter Rabbit.
