[Mr. Sternberg also found this word in Northamptonshire: for in his
valuable work on _The Dialect and Folk Lore_ of that county occurs the
following derivation of it:--"UNKED, HUNKID, _s_. lonely, dull,
miserable. 'I was so _unked_ when ye war away.' 'A _unked_ house,' &c.
Mr. Bosworth gives, as the derivative, the A.-S. _uncyd_, solitary,
without speech. In Batchelor's _List of Bedfordshire Words_, it is
spelt _ungkid_."]
_Pilgrim's Progress_.--The common editions contain a _third_ part, setting
forth the life of _Tender-conscience_: this third part is thought not to
have been written by Bunyan, and is omitted from some, at least, of the
modern editions. Can any of your readers explain by whom this addition was
made, and all about it? The subject of the _Pilgrim's Progress_
generally--the stories of a similar kind which are said to have
preceded--especially in Catholic times--the history of its editions and
annotations, would give some interesting columns.
