The  fifty-five  years  which  have  elapsed  since  the  appearance
of  this  edition  by  Southoy  have,  judging  by  the  number  and
character  of  the  editions  by  which  it  has  been  followed,  been
!uarked  by  a  steady  increase  rather  than  by  any  diminution  of
interest  in  Bunyan's  Dream.  The  best  are  the  editions  pub-
lished by  Fisher  and  illustrated  by  J.  M.  "VV.  Turner,  R.A.,
G.  Cruikshank,  and  others  :t  that  edited  by  Godwin  and  Pocock,
in  oblong  folio  and  illustrated  by  the  prize  drawings  in  outline
of  the  Art  Union,  executed  by  H.  C.  Selous ;  +  the  one  edited
by  George  Ofi'or  for  the  Ilanserd  Knollj^s  Society  ;  §  that  pub-
lished by  W.  Pickering  and  printed  at  the  Chiswick  Press
(1849)  ;  the  two  editions  issued  the  same  year,  the  one  illus-
trated by  "William  Harve}',!!  the  other  by  David  Scott,  R.S.  A.  ;  %
the  edition  published  by  Bagster  in  1845  and  illustrated  by  his
daughter  with  270  small  engravings,  some  of  which  are  of  great
merit ;  **  those  with  the  illustrations  of  Sir  John  Gilbert,
engraved  by  J.  W.  Whymper ;  ft  that  with  100  illustrations
by  Thomas  Dalziel,JJ  and  the  one  with  tlie  coloured  plates  of
11.  C.  Selous  and  the  wood-engravings  of  Selous,  Priolo,  and
Friston.^§  An  excellent  edition  was  published  by  Macniillan
and  Co.  in  18G'i,  which  was  adorned  with  a  charming
vignette  by  AV.  Ilolman  Ilunt,  engraved  by  Jeens.  An  edition
with  the  "  Grace  Abounding  "  appended  to  it,  carefully  edited
for  the  Cloremhn  Prcsn  by  Canon  Venables,  was  published  in
1879  ;  another,  called  the  "  Elstow  Edition,"  has  outline  draw-
ings by  Gunston  and  others,  and  is  bound  in  oak-boards  taken
