8° (155 x 96mm). Collation: A-H8. (Lacking final blank H8; tiny hole on E8 affecting one letter; a few headlines just shaved.) 19th-century brown morocco gilt, edges gilt. Provenance: Cardiff Castle bookplate.
A FINE COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION of one of the earliest works written by Bunyan after his release from prison in 1672. Although quire H was originally made up of eight leaves, none of the copies cited in the bibliographies have leaf H8, which was almost certainly blank (the verso of H7 is also blank).
