[BINDINGS]. BUNYAN, John (1628-1688). The Pilgrim?s Progress. With A Life of John Bunyan by Robert Southey. London: John Murray and John Major, 1830. FIRST MAJOR EDITION and the first appearance of A Life by Southey. Sir Walter Scott wrote of this edition that it was ?adorned with a great variety of woodcuts, designed and executed with singular felicity, and with some highly finished engraving after the rich and imaginative pencil of John Martin. Thus decorated and recommended by the taste and criticism of Mr. Southey, it might seem certain that the established favourite of the common people should be well received among the upper classes? (Quarterly Review, October 1830, 494).
