     1803 (date written), [Jane Austen], chapter V, inNorthanger Abbey; published inNorthanger Abbey: And Persuasion. […], volume(please specify |volume=I or II), London:John Murray, […], 20 December 1817 (indicated as 1818),→OCLC:

     […] while the abilities of the nine-hundredthabridger of the History of England, or of the man who collects and publishes in a volume some dozen lines of Milton, Pope, and Prior, with a paper from the Spectator, and a chapter from Sterne, are eulogized by a thousand pens—there seems almost a general wish of decrying the capacity and undervaluing the labour of the novelist, and of slighting the performances which have only genius, wit, and taste to recommend them.

     I am anabridger. When I tell people, at a party for instance, that I am anabridger, their faces cloud with confusion and I always have to explain. What I do is take the written work of other people and compress it.
