Publisher's Synopsis
A Plea For Teetotalism, And The Maine Liquor Law is a book written by James Haughton in 1855. The book argues in favor of teetotalism, which is the complete abstinence from alcohol, and the Maine Liquor Law, which was a law passed in Maine in 1851 that prohibited the sale of alcohol except for medicinal purposes. Haughton discusses the negative effects of alcohol on individuals and society, including poverty, crime, and violence. He also argues that the Maine Liquor Law has been successful in reducing the consumption of alcohol and improving the well-being of the community. The book includes statistics and anecdotes to support Haughton's arguments and is written in a persuasive and passionate tone. Overall, A Plea For Teetotalism, And The Maine Liquor Law is a call to action for individuals and governments to take a stand against alcohol consumption and enact laws to restrict its availability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
