C.H. Spurgeon was one of the most widely published ministers of the
Victorian era. Sales of his books run into many millions. He had a
gift for speaking the language of the maninthestreet and presenting
Christian truth in a way that captured the imagination. Two of his
publications of this type are here combined into one volume. Both
are funny, pointed and profound in their content. They give answers
to the common questions of the day on doctrine and behaviour as
explained by a ploughman to his wayward audience. Also contains
illustrations included in the original editions of both books.
Spurgeon was a formidable communicator read him here at his best. I
have written for ploughmen and common people. Hence refined taste
and dainty words have been discarded for strong proverbial
expressions and homely phrases. I have aimed my blows at the vices
of the many, and tried to inculcate those moral virtues without
which men are degraded. Much that needs to be said to the toiling
masses would not well suit the pulpit and the Sabbath; these lowly
pages may teach thrift and industry all the days of the week in the
cottage and the workshop; and if some learn these lessons I shall
not repent the adoption of a rustic style. That I have written in a
semihumorous vein needs no apology, since thereby sound moral
teaching has gained a hearing from at least 300,000 persons. There
is no particular virtue in being seriously unreadable. Charles
Haddon Spurgeon
