Our estimate of Mr. Offor's collection, taken from his Sale Catalogue, London, 1865, pp. 151–161, Nos. 1522–1701, is as follows:

Part I., Part II., Part III.,

in English, 131, in foreign languages, 33, in all, copies, 164

In his collections of the "Works of John Bunyan," Nos. 1505-1521, 17021941, and “Bunyaniana," Nos. 1942-2025, Mr. Offor was unapproached.

It will be remembered that, with the exception of a few copies, all the above, including the copies of the Pilgrim's Progress, were destroyed by fire at the auction room of Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, London, June 29, 1865.

supplied by MS.; Advertisement: Apology, 8 pp. (n.n); 1-205; The Conclusion; Advertisement. Lea Wilson copy. Bound by Hayday. "Twelfth-The only copy we have seen of this edition has a manuscript title, dated 1688 [Lenox copy dated 1689], also by Ponder. [12th edit. is

by Robert Ponder, 13th edit. is by Nathaniel Ponder.] This agrees exactly with the account of the thirteenth edition, given by Mr. Pocock, from Mr. Wilson's copy. It has fourteen woodcuts, with the verses under each, the last of which affords a curious proof of the extreme carelessness with which this popular work was published. This cut, in the former copies, represented the pilgrims triumphantly rising on the clouds to the celestial city, attended with angels with the crown, and under this was a suitable verse-see page 190. Imagine this cut exchanged for one in which you see the two pilgrims in distress, wading through the river of death; one sinking in despair, the other holding his chin above water; and you read under this picture the same verse that was placed under that of their triumphal ascent : 'Now, now look how the holy Pilgrims rise [ride]: Clouds are their Chariots. Angels are their Guide.' A more complete travesty could hardly have been devised."
