Excerpt from The Life of Bunyan: Author of the Pilgrim's Progress, Compiled From His Own Writings, and From Other Authentic SourcesThe pith and soul of Bunyan's biography of himself, entitled grace abounding, it is hoped, will be found here. Some pains have been taken to trace the connection of events, and much that is naturally suggested to the mind has been left unsaid. It can be supplied by the re¿ecting reader himself. There has been an effort to combine clearness with brevity, to exaggerate nothing, and to do historical justice to the subject of the memoir and to all concerned. But respecting the spirit and manner which actually pervade this humble performance, it does not become the writer to speak. Let the intelligent and candid, of all denominations, read, and judge for themselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
