Ploughshare and Pruning-Hook - Ten Lectures on Social Subjects

by Laurence Housman


These papers, originally given as lectures, make no pretence to the solution of the social or political problems with which they are concerned. Whether these lectures were primarily intended for the pulpit or the platform it would be hard to say. Most of them have been given in both places: and their drawback to some who heard them in the former was (I have been told) their occasional tendency to make the congregation laugh. That in itself is no special recommendation; it takes so much less to make a congregation laugh than an audience.
