The Pilgrim's Progress - From This World To That Which Is To Come - By John Bunyan - ILLUSTRATED BY JOHN GlLBERT - Veneration for the memory of Bunyan has stimnlated the Editors most anxious care to make this edition a correct foe simile of what the Author himself published. Most of the notes are extracted from his other works, and throw n light upon those few passages which have proved difficult to young persons - The certificate which was to be carried beyond the grave to the gates of the celestial city the meaning of the lions the House Reautiful-the giants-the light with Apollyon-passage tirough deaths dark vrilley in tile nlitlst of the pilogimage, and many other adventures easily understood by the experienced Christian. In the Notes the extracts are numbered in conformity with the only correct list of Bunyans whole works arranged in chronological order as they were pblished. This list will be found on the last page of the Memoir. They amount to the qmazmg number of sixty distinct treatises, among which most admirable and uaeful pmdnctions, it would indeed be difficult to mark those which are the most striking. To render this invaluable book a blessing to the millions, by publishing it at a very moderate price, has necessarily much abridged the notes and the memoir. This humble effort to promote the interests of the Redeemers kingdom is dolicated to the youthful inquirer after the wicket-gate and the eelestial city, by their devoted friend.

Born in deep poverty, left to run wild in demoralizing excesses, a ring-leader in vice, and a very curse to society he was arrested by the stings of conscience, fixed and rankling in his heart. In vain were his efforts to smother his convictions, that he might rush on to perdition. The might my hand of God was upon him, curbing his wild propensities, and converting the poor blaspllemer into the energetic proclaimer of salvation, through the merits of the Redeemer. His whole career is beautifully portrayed by the Psalmist,- Ye have lien among the pots, discoloured by smolce and soot, Yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove, covered with silver and her feathers with yellow gold. The bright and beautiful plumage of an eastern dove, glistening interchangeably as with polished silver and burnished gold. The seventeenth century was a most eventful and important............

PREFACE. IT was intended to issue this History at the close of the Centenary Show, but as the question of the incorporation of the Club followed immediately after, it was thought better to bring it up to the end of 1900, the year in which the Smithfield Club ceased to exist under its old orgulization. In preparing the History free use has been made of the historical notes and compilations published by the late Sir I. T. Hrandreth Gibbs, Honoriry Secretary I843 to 1885. The extracts from the minutes have been continued and an index added. The statistical tables have also been continued, and in some cases amplified. It is hoped that these alterations and additions, with the illustrations which are now given.....
