Synopsis

One Syllable exclusively, I wish it to be clearly understood that it is intended for A dtclt Beginners, no less than for Children, There is a large class of persons who do not begin to acqtiire the art of reading till somewhat late in life, and it is for such that I think a book of this Character is peculiarly applicable. It may be objected that my syste7n involves the ttse of zvords which, though short, a7 edifficult to 2i7iderstand, a7id might be made more intelligible iji polysyllabic language. But I have endeavored as far as possible to avoid had and technical expressions, and I cannot but think that the 7nere fact of the brevity of the words mitst be a great attraction to beginners of all ages.

About this title

About the Author:

John Bunyan was an English Christian writer and preacher who is best known for his allegorical novel The Pilgrim' s Progress, published in 1678. Bunyan' s faith was profoundly influenced by two books owned by his wife: Arthur Dent's Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven and Lewis Bayly's Practice of Piety, and he turned to preaching following the death of his guide and mentor, John Gifford. The restoration of the monarchy of Charles II of England marked England' s return to Anglicanism, and Bunyan' s freedom to preach was curtailed. He was arrested numerous times for preaching without a licence, and was finally imprisoned for the offence in November 1660. Bunyan was released from prison in January 1672 and resumed preaching (as permitted under the Declaration of Religious Indulgence) until his death in 1688.
