OD&D and AD&D 1e had special rules for subduing dragons in combat so they could be sold, making the dragon itself potentially more valuable than its hoard (Clyde Duensing III, Dragon 134, June 1988)

Pride and Prejudice published 28 Jan. 1813.

Jane Austen’s name did not appear on the book, instead the writer was identified as “By the Author of ‘Sense and Sensibility’“ which had been published 2 years earlier and was still selling when Pride and Prejudice was published. Austen’s name had not appeared on her first novel either, but was attributed to “A Lady.”
