Works from Which Notes to This Edition Have Been Selected

The following are the principal works from which the Notes to this edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress have been selected:—

The Pilgrim’s Progress, Part the First. 12mo, 1776. The preface states, that “an edition, containing some brief notes to illustrate the more difficult passages, has been long desired. An attempt of this kind is now submitted to the public.” This appears to be the first edition with notes. There is no indication of who the notes are by; but there can be little doubt but that they are from the pen of the Rev. J. Newton, the friend of Cowper. The Editor has four editions of this interesting volume—1776, 1782, 1789, and 1797.
The Pilgrim’s Progress; both Parts, with Notes. By W. Mason. 8vo, 1778. In the preface, Mr. Mason says, “I have often wished to see some explanatory notes upon certain passages in it. Having been solicited to undertake this, at a time when no one had attempted it, I have endeavoured, according to the ability which God has given me, to execute it.” This book was published in numbers, and the notes proved very acceptable. The subscribers requested that more frequent and longer notes should be given. Mr. Mason promises to comply with this request. The advertisement is dated “Rotherhithe, March 8, 1776.”
The Pilgrim’s Progress, with Notes. By A Bachelor of Arts of Oxford—J. B. 8vo. 1792.
The Pilgrim’s Progress in blank verse. By J. S. Dodd, M.D. Dublin, 1793.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, with a Key to the Allegory. Published by Heptinstall, 1796.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, divided into Chapters. By the Rev. G. Burder, of Coventry. 12mo, 1797.
A Key to the Pilgrim’s Progress. By Andronicus. 12mo, second edition, 1797.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, with Notes. By the Rev. T. Scott. 8vo.
The Pilgrim’s Progress Versified, with short Notes. By G. Burder, 1804.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, with Life. By M’Nicoll and Dr. A. Clarke. 8vo, 1809.
Warr’s Course of Lectures, Illustrative of the Pilgrim’s Progress. 8vo, 1825.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, with Historical and Practical Notes. By the Rev. T. Ivimey. 8vo. Oxford, 1824; London, 1829.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, an Epic Poem. By C. C. V. G. 8vo. Parsonstown, 1844.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, an Epic Poem, Two Parts. Published by Bagster, 1845.
Dr. Cheever’s [exceedingly interesting] Lectures. 1846.
The extracts from Bunyan’s other works, which so admirably illustrate his Pilgrim’s Progress, have a reference to this new edition.

The Author’s Apology for His Book

The Time MachineH. G. Wells
The Time Traveller lands in the year 802,701 expecting a paradise, and what he finds among the childlike Eloi and the pale Morlocks underground gets stranger and sadder the longer he stays. It's short, brisk Victorian science fiction with a genuinely bleak streak, especially that final beach.
The Picture of Dorian GrayOscar Wilde
Wilde gives every character his best one-liners, so you'll laugh even as the whole thing curdles into something genuinely creepy. Lord Henry's lazy, poisonous charm is the real draw; you'll catch yourself agreeing with him and then feeling slightly guilty about it.
The Adventures of Sherlock HolmesArthur Conan Doyle
Twelve short cases you can dip into anywhere, and half the pleasure is Watson's patient bafflement while Holmes notices the scuffed boot or the dog that didn't bark. Cozy in the best way, though don't expect deep character arcs, just clever puzzles and fog.
