GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Special Notices by A. I. Root 



GOOD BOOKS FOE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY. 



Some thirty years ago we sold hundreds of copies 

 of Pilgrims Progress. The edition we had contain- 

 ed 384 pages, with illustrations all thru. The book 

 is nicely bound, and makes a beautiful present. But 

 because it was published so long ago we offer it now 

 for only 50 cents; by mail, 60. My impression is 

 that it was originally a $2.00 book. We have only 

 seven copies left. 



Pilgrim's Progress was first published about 260 

 years ago, and has been translated into more lan- 

 guages than any other volume, the Bible alone ex- 

 cepted; and probably no other book (the Bible again 

 excepted) has done more to keep alive the true 

 spirit of Christianity than this wonderful allegory. 

 The variety of characters Bunyan introduces with 

 such vividness surpasses that in any other volume 

 of human production. No person can be said to 

 have read the Bible without having read this ever 

 interesting volume; and one who has not read it is 

 certainly greatly lacking in a knowledge of English 

 literature.
