John Ploughman's Pictures: More of His Plain Talk for Plain People

"John Ploughman's Pictures" was inspired by the immense circulation and influence for good of the previous volume "John Ploughman's Talk." Spurgeon wrote the chapters in a mirthful vein but with the serious purpose to help "men climb to better things." Numerous sources contributed to this collection of wisdom to encourage temperance, diligence, and common sense. He had the chapters richly illustrated with 39 illustrations.
