Pilgrim's Progress Typos/Corrections

[Sean McCann]

Here's a bunch of typos/corrections for the First Part of The Pilgrim's Progress.

I picked it up because it was No. 1 in the Guardian’s Best 100 Novels in English before realizing that list was in chronological order... Oops.

It wasn't exactly a great read, not helped by some of the commentators being pretty useless. Still, since I've gotten this far, I'll probably push through the Second Part.

Anyway, enough griping, here's the corrections:

there is not a more dangerous and trouble some way

trouble some -> troublesome
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/93/mode/1up

be hath a pretty young man to his son,
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/94/mode/1up
(I see the most common OCR error in Quixote rears its head here too.)

for the Dead Sea is under you-a gulf that hath no bottom.
you-a -> you—a
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/103/mode/1up
(There's a lot of these hyphen instead of em-dash errors. I did a search of them for the first half of the book, but you may want to double check that I didn't miss any.)

I have His coat on my back-a coat that He gave me
back-a -> back—a
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/104/mode/1up

and then began to go up the hill, saying-
saying- -> saying—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/104/mode/1up

the backslider is attended with fears and doubts such a he felt not before,
such a -> such as
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/105/mode/1up

Yet, before be got up, the sun went down upon Christian;
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/106/mode/1up

Now before he had gone far, be entered into a very narrow pas­sage,
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/106/mode/1up

to whom Christian spake as follows-
follows- -> follows—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/114/mode/1up
(Original has a : before the —)

from his entering the prison, be walked in the light
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/116/mode/1up

I met him once in the streets, but be leered away on the other side,
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/117/mode/1up

I had shaken him off, then I began to sing-
sing- -> sing—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/120/mode/1up

thought it had been a slander-a lot that often falls
slander-a -> slander—a
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/122/mode/1up

because be parteth not the hoof.
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/123/mode/1up

it causeth there a great outcry against sin. Secondly-
Secondly- -> Secondly—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/123/mode/1up
(Source looks much longer than an em-dash.)

See an account of this fair in Hones Year Book,
Hones -> Hone's
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/127/mode/1up
(Also, Hone is the name of the author, and is not Italicized in source.)

and that for several reasons; for-
for- -> for—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/128/mode/1up

the contents where­of were this-
this- -> this—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/129/mode/1up

since be is Beelzebub, the enemy of our Lord,
be -> he
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/129/mode/1up

before this honourable bench, that he is-
is- -> is—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/130/mode/1up
(Longer than an em-dash in source.)

Give him his oath. (So they sware him). Then he said-
said- -> said—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/130/mode/1up

and as he went, he sang, saying-

(Not capitalized in source.)

this may be lawfully done. For why-

https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/135/mode/1up

again in the way.322 Then sang Christian-
Christian- -> Christian—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/137/mode/1up

How soon yon went into Bypath Meadow!
yon -> you
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/138/mode/1up

The stream which flow from this river of electing love

https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/138/mode/1up

Thus they did several days and nights.332 Then they sang-

had like to have been drowned nine or 10 times.
10 -> ten
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/139/mode/1up
(Or nine -> 9. But these two should match.)

but Hopeful made his second reply as followeth-

his done, they sang as follows-

Then they went away, and sang this song-
song- -> song—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/145/mode/1up?q=second

Then said Hopeful-
Hopeful- -> Hopeful—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/146/mode/1up?q=second

the next uncircumcised Philistine. Then sang Christian-
Christian- -> Christian—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/150/mode/1up?q=second

and went softly along the right way, singing-
singing -> singing—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/151/mode/1up?q=second

Chr. I will sing you first this song-

it- -> it—
https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny/page/160/mode/1up
(Original also has : before — here.)




The rest of these are all hyphens, and should all be in the notes, not the main text.

My brain tended to fog over when reading anything Cheever had to say, so I did a search for these after finishing. Let me know if I should bother doing the same when I get to the Second Part.

that is far greater than the last-a peril through which

Alex: this was my project, I’m happy to do these fixes if you like.

Sean: yeah, not the most gripping read, I expected it to be much more interesting.

Sean: thanks for all this careful proofing work. All of the issues you reported should now be fixed.

[Sean McCann]

Here's a list of corrections for the Second Part. It's mostly he/be. (And there's probably more he/be errors I didn't catch.)

briers -> briars
{Original text does have briers here, but main text uses briars elsewhere. It is in Webster as a much less common spelling, though, so maybe you'll want to leave it as is. I include it only because I looked it up as a possible OCR error.}

Thanks Sean, these should all now be fixed. I put the briers -> briars in an [Editorial] commit.
