The pilgrim's progress from this world to that which is to come

John Bunyan

Bishop Coverdale's First English Bible, quarto.

Price 80s. in cloth. With a portrait and facsimile title.

This is a careful reprint of the scarce original edition of MDXXXV. in its own orthography. It is interesting not only as the first English Bible issued by royal authority, but on account of the homely simplicity with which the translation is throughout made. The following extract of a well-known passage will show the style of the rendering:As for vs, we go all astraye (like shepe), euery one turneth his owne waye. But thorow him, the LORDE pardoneth all oure synnes. He shal be payned troubled, ad shal not ope his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shal he be as still as a lambe before the shearer, C not open his mouth. He shal be had awaye, his cause not herde, and without eny iudg ment: Whose generacion yet no man maye nombre, when he shalbe cut of fro the grounde of the lyvinge: Which punyshment shal go vpon him, for the transgression of my people. His graue shalbe geue him with the cōdemned, his crucifienge with the theues, Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnright, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in his mouth.

The sale of one entire impression of this modern edition attests the abiding interest of the work as a faithful translation.

"We cordially agree with the Author of this elegant work, that multitudes of persons have been deterred from studying the principles of Perspective, by the repulsiveness of the mode in which the neces sary information has been presented. The whole of these very instruc tive lessons are lavishly illustrated, and the dialogues are replete with admirable and just observations on ancient and modern art.”
