 first published in 1678. The second 

 and inferior part, concerned with 

 the journey Heavenwards of Chris- 

 tiana, Christian's wife, her four 

 sons and her friend Mercy, was ' 

 written at Elstow, and first pub- ; 

 lished in 1684. No book except 

 the Bible has t>een more widely , 

 circulated. 



Six editions were issued within i 



two or three years, but only nine 

 copies of the first edition are 

 known. According to an article in 

 The Times Literary Supplement of 

 Oct. 13, 1921, the three perfect 

 copies are Sir George Holford's, of 

 which a facsimile was issued in 

 1888 ; one in the Rylands Library, 

 Manchester ; and one in the 

 British Museum. A practically 

 perfect copy is the property of 

 H. E. Huntingdon, an American 

 collector. Excepting the 7th and 

 17th editions, no copies of which 

 are known, the longest " run " of 

 editions is in the Lenox Library 

 New York. See Bunyan.
