Strona 66 - I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and, as he read, he wept, and trembled; and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying, What shall I do?
Strona 40 - But before I had got thus far out of these ' my temptations, I did greatly long to see some ' ancient godly man's experience, who had writ ' some hundreds of years before I was born ; for ' those who had writ in our days, I thought, but I ' desire them now to pardon me, that they had writ ' only that which others felt, or else had, through ' the strength of their wits and parts, studied tu ' answer siich objections as they perceived others ' were perplexed with, without going down them

Strona 61 - The style of Bunyan is delightful to every reader, and invaluable as a study to every person who wishes to obtain a wide command over the English language. The vocabulary is the vocabulary of the common people. There is not an expression, if we except a u 3 few technical terms of theology, which would puzzle the rudest peasant.
Strona 61 - There is no book in our literature, on which we would so readily stake the fame of the old, unpolluted English language ; no book which shows so well, how rich that language is, in its own proper wealth, and how little it has been improved by all that it has borrowed.
Strona 18 - For my descent then, it was, as is well known by many, of a low and inconsiderable generation ; my father's house being of that rank that is meanest and most despised of all the families in the land.
