AN INTERESTING LITERARY FACT. The
fame of Bunyan during his life, and during
the century which followed his death, was
indeed great, but was entirely confined to
religious families of the middle and lower
classes Very seldom was he during that time
mentioned with respect by any writer of
great literary eminence. Young coupled his
prose with the poetry of the wretched
D'Urley. In his Spiritual Qaxotte," the adj
ventures of Christian are ranked with those
of Jack the Giant Killer and John Hicka-
thrift Cowper ycntured to praise the great
aIlcgorist, but did not venture TO name him.
