Excerpt from The Mirror of Intemperance, and the History of Temperance Reform: To Which Is Added the Life and Death of King Alcohol, and Original and Selected Anecdotes
The author of this work has observed with deep regret an apparent decline of interest in the temperance enterprise for some time past. As there is a close connection between enlightened zeal in moral and religious causes, and the diffusion of principles, information, and facts, in connection with such causes, he was induced to undertake the preparation of this volume, with a view of awakening greater interest in this movement. No one can doubt the utility of diffusing correct intelligence in reference to the temperance question. All who have had experience in pro moting this cause, will admit the force of the following testimony of that indefatigable and philanthropic laborer in the temperance enterprise, E. C. Delavan, Esq in relation to the matter of circu lating temperance reading. He says - I have always considered that a dollar judiciously expended, in circulating good temperance documents among the people, produced one hundredfold the cost, in direct or indirect pecuniary advantage to the public. A tem perance document, for a series of years, was placed in each family of a town; and I was assured it occasioned the saving of ten thousand dollars a year, in the cost of ardent spirits alone, not to mention the many and great incidental advantages.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to highlight the grave perils of intemperance, in particular the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The author argues that the widespread use of alcohol in the mid 19th century has led to a decline in public morals and safety. Temperance, a social movement gaining popularity at the time, is presented as the remedy to this societal ill. Historically, this book fits into a broader category of works on temperance dating back to the early 19th century. However, it is notable for its thorough examination of the devastating effects of alcohol on both individuals and society as a whole. By weaving together statistics, medical evidence, and firsthand accounts, the author presents a compelling case for the dangers of alcohol consumption and the urgent need for reform. The book's insights on the subject remain relevant today, offering a sobering perspective on the destructive potential of alcohol and the importance of promoting sobriety. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
