Item description from seller

Two allegorical works from English writer and nonconformist preacher John Bunyan, bound into one volume. Two volumes bound into one. With a frontispiece to each volume and numerous illustrations. Written by John Bunyan, a prolific English writer and nonconformist preacher best remembered as the author of the Christian allegory The Pilgrim's Progress. With notes and annotations by Rev. Robert Maguire, an Irish-born Church of England clergyman. This set contains: The Pilgrim's Progress, from This World to That Which is to Come. Illustrated by Henry Courtney Selous, an English painter, illustrator and lithographer, and Paolo Priolo, an Italian painter and draughtsman. Commonly regarded as one of the most significant works of Protestant devotional literature and of wider early modern English literature, this work presented as a dream sequence narrated by an omniscient narrator. The allegory's protagonist, Christian, is an everyman character, and the plot centres on his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City" atop Mount Zion. A True Relation of the Holy War made by King Shaddai Upon Diabolus. Illustrated by Henry Courtney Selous and David Henry Friston, a British illustrator and figure painter. Another allegorical work telling the story of the residents in a town called "Mansoul". Though the town along with its citizens is deemed perfect under the rule of Shaddai, its citizens had been persuaded by Diabolus to rebel and throw off his reign, effectively crowning Diabolus as its ruler. With a life of Bunyan by William Brock, the first minister of Bloomsbury Chapel in Central London, an abolitionist, biographer and supporter of missionary causes. Bound in full tooled calf. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities. Light fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot or handling mark. Light age toning to the extremities. Very Good.…
