Quite apart from the scrupulous veracity of the texts the edition bristles with variora and comprehensively detailed notes and comment by a lifetime scholar.

Burder was a Congregationalist minister sometime active in Coventry who began life as an engraver but subsequently played an important role in the founding of the RTS. His edition of 'The Pilgrim's Progress' 1786 is the first to be divided into chapters and was frequently reprinted. This is apparently the second Coventry printing; we have a note of an earlier 1790 version issued by Luckman & Suffield. In the earlier issue the pagination is similar but the plates include a frontispiece to each part; here the number of plates remains the same but all are numbered for inclusion in the first part. Rare. ESTC lists only the 1786 edition. M. Luckman, Coventry and J. Mathews, 18 Strand, London, hardcover
