PREFAC E.

THE Allegory contained in John Bunyan's " Pilgrim's Progress" is certainly one of the most beautiful that ever was written. It is, however, so overlaid with repetition and conversations about questions of doctrine which no child can possibly understand, that I am constrained to believe no young people can ever read the whole book through without being wearied. It is for them that I have printed the present edition, in which the whole story of the Allegory is given in the Author's own words, (with occasional exceptions,) and in which the long conversations I refer to are omitted.

At the end of the volume are a few Notes in explanation of the Allegory.
