Scraps

1793
Jane Austen
Scraps, containing The Female Philosopher; The First Act of a Comedy; A Letter from a Young Lady, Whose Feelings Being Too Strong for Her Judgement Led Her into the Commission of Errors, Which Her Heart Disapproved; A Tour Through Wales; and A Tale
C+

Lesser in quality and length, this juvenilia from the year Austen turned 18 have their moments, like the tale of a "furnished cottage," but there's not much notable here.  The main exception is the first work, which contains a proto-Mary-Bennet.
