Antiquarian Book Collectors, study the titles, because some of these books could be very rare? Obtained from a deceased estate Sale, these books were a prized possession of the previous owner and according to a family member reputed to be quite valuable?

I am not an Antique Book expert, have done some research, established some interesting facts, however leave the decision to the buyer what to pay for them, might be a couple of treasures in this lot?

7 books Consist of : I/. On the Irrawaddy by Henty, story of the first Burmese war, 1920s. 2/. & 3/. Two very old books copies of 16th century examples, Volumes I and II Alred De Vingy, text in French 1800s. 4/. & 5/. Two Antique Collins editions, The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and Jocasta, The Famished cat by Anotole France, both 1800s. 6/. 1920s The new Punch Library, showing cartoon drawings over some 20 years early 1900s to 1920s. 7/.  Last but not least a very rare, possible first edition of The Pilgrim's progress by John Bunyan illustrated by F Barnard, amazing front cover design, not seen on any examples on the internet? dated 1889, the only other examples located from 1890? See story below. Books are very old and in fair condition, some foxing to some pages, but all intact, spines reasonable. No signs of missing or torn pages, some separation of covers. All hard covers.

The Story: The Pilgrim's Progress tells the tale of a man named Christian pursuing his pilgrimage through “Vanity Fair,” the “Slough of Despond,” and the “Delectable Mountains” on his path towards the “Celestial City” and is one of the world's most famous religious allegories.  John Bunyan, an English writer and preacher, wrote the first part of his tract while in prison for his religious beliefs, and it remains a supreme classic of the seventeenth-century English Puritan tradition.  Yet, he also created a profound folk-epic of the universal imagination, one that has had an immeasurable influence on the writing that followed it ever since.   

Books measure between 10 to 15.5 cm to 15 to 20.5 cm.

Post net R99 to main centres or SAPO R85 (buyers Risk).
