in some other versions of Pride and Prejudice etc. appeared in the code & book views
there were 13 instances of this in your version
Here's hoping that this is helpful.

This is not an error. "&c." is an old way of writing "etc.". It's very common in early 19th century books. Means exactly the same thing, of course: "&" is the word "and", which has the same meaning as the French word "et".
