A New View of the Temperance Question (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from A New View of the Temperance Question

The remedy proposed in the following pages for the evils of intemperance may not appear, at first sight, to be specific enough as a basis for practical reform. Men of one idea, it is said, rule the world, though, like rays of the sun focused under a glass, they often end by setting the community into a blaze. We may lose in intensity what we gain in breadth.

On the other hand, a good cause may be poised on so narrow a base as to become, to all intents and purposes,. A positive evil. Who could have anticipated that the greatest philanthropic enterprise of this age would con cern itself with what men drink and give no attention to the subject of food? As well construct a grammar on nouns and leave out of it all reference to verbs!
