Receives Interesting Copy of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress Occasionally during the sumner months, the East Durham Historical Centre receive gifts from friends who call during the Fridays and Saturdays it is open. These are generally prized possessions which they would like to see preserved. One received re- cently was a copy of "Pil- grim's Progress", one of a very unusual edition. This book not seen so much now, was once spoken of as having more influence for good than any other book except the Bible. This edition was printed in 1881, just the year after the church at Elstow was reno- vated. This was the church where John Bunyan loved to ring the bells, and did preach. The church was built in 1530 and at the time of repairing, the old oak beams were used to make a binding for this edition of Bunyan's book. Two plates of wood form front and back covers, edged with leather. A photo of the only authentic sketch made of Bunyan, is on the cover. A history of the old church and village, as well as what is known of Bunyan's early life is in the book. The practice of pasting a photo in a book instead of printing it was done in the early fifties in England. This book is 96 years old but the wood in its binding is nearly 450 years old. Another interesting book donated during this year is a copy of "The Fifth Book of Lessons" for Canadian schools. It was found in the walls of a former Marsh home on No. 2 highway by Mr. M. Clancy the present owner, and donated by him. With it are reproductions of ttile pages of similar books from the pro- vincial archives, but there is nQt a copy of this particular one there. It bas no date but similar books were printed between 1853 and 1860. There are also reproductions of portions of the Irish books first secured by Edgerton Ryerson for Canadian schools, at the Centre for all to see. One of the members, Mrs. F. Wilkinson, returned from England recently and brought back some mememtoes of the Silver Jubilee. These will be on display on Saturday, August 27th.
