First Edition. Arthur I. Keller dustjacket art and illustrations. A scarce prohibition work telling the story of an organization "for the propagation of the principle and practice of total abstinence from strong drink. A contemporary New York Times review notes: "By the way, most people have probably forgotten that this Washingtonian Temperance Society was organized in a Baltimore tavern by six old topers, and was known for a long time as a brotherhood of reformed drunkards - that is to say, it got at the 'drink devil,' to use the Temperance people's jargon, from the inside instead of from the outside." An early precursor to the modern Alcoholics Anonymous. Near Fine in attractive dustjacket with shallow loss at top spine end. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 25902
