1881".
NOTE: The publisher's preface to this work states: "
The origin of the Elstow Edition of the 'Pilgrim's Progress' may be
briefly told. The ancient Church whose bells Bunyan loved to
ring, had long been in a state of dangerous dilapidation, and at
Easter of the present year (1880), it was found necessary to replace
the roof and to a considerable extent re-build the walls. Most
of the wood-work was found unfit for further use (the oak beams
having done duty since 1530), and it was suggested to the Vicar and
Churchwardens, that as the old material possessed a value in the
eyes of thousands far in excess of its intrinsic worth, it was
desirable to utilise it in such a way that the restoration fund
might be largely increased, and at the same time an opportunity be
given to the public of becoming possessed of a genuine and unique
souvenir of the 'Immortal Dreamer'. A proposal was then made
to us which resulted in the purchase of all the old timber .......
it was decided to publish a new edition of the 'Pilgrim', and to
work up the best portions of the wood in the binding ..... The
Portrait on the cover is photographed from the original pencil
sketch by White, in the British Museum, which is undoubtedly the
most authentic likeness in existence ..... the beautifully executed
pencil sketch, of which the public now for the first time possess a
facsimile, was drawn to be engraved as Frontispiece to the Third
Edition of the 'Pilgrim', published in 1679. The artist, R.
White, was an intimate personal friend of Bunyan, who is here
represented in his prime ...".
