Excerpt from The Pilgrim's Progress: As Originally Published

We shall probably find few readers who are not already acquainted with the leading facts of Bunyan's life, and to whom a record of them would not appear like the rehearsal of an old story. It may suffice, therefore, if we present, in few words, such a summary as will refresh the memory, dwelling only on those which are fitted to shed a little light on his immortal production.

Born at Elstow in Bedfordshire in 1628, of parents who belonged to the humb'ler walks of life, he received little early education worthy of the name but grew up in the ignorance which was then, and in England is still, common to his class. At an early age he learned the trade of tinker, and by that occupation earned his livelihood for a few years. Up to the time'of his first marriage he lived, if not a desperately profligate, yet a thoroughly godless and openly wicked life. And though the, character and conversation of his wife exerted a restraining influence, and awoke in him some desire for reformation, no real, and but little apparent, change took place until some time afterwards, when he became the subject of converting grace. The deep experiences through which he had passed in connection with this change, combined with his natural gifts, qualified him for profitably addressing others; and he very soon began, in an irregular way at first, to exer cise the ministry, which ultimately became his sole occupation, and in which he attained to a proficiency unsurpassed by any preacher of his time. His preaching, and consequent absence from the parish church, attracted the notice of the ecclesiastical authorities of the neighborhood, at whose instigation he was thrown into prison for twelve years, where he tagged laces to support his wife and blind child, and conceived and wrote the wonderful allegory by which he has ranked himself for ever among the peers of the intellectual world, and secured for himself an ever widening and undying fame. After his release he preached with great acceptance and usefulness, statedly at Bedford, occasionally in London and elsewhere; and composed and published various6 introduction.
