Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Examination of the Essays Bacchus and Anti-Bacchus
The premium was awarded to Mr. Grindrod, yet in the Opinion of one of the three adjudicators Mr. Parsons was en titled to that distinction.
The comparative merit of the two Essays we shall not undertake to discuss, as our purpose is merely to examine some of the positions assumed, and to show that they are utterly untenable, being contrary to the word of God and the testimony of antiquity. So far as the object of these Essays is to promote temperance, we cordially opprove it; and we only regret that in the prosecution of an object so important, and so benevolent, the authors have not confined themselves to arguments which will stand the most rigid scrutiny.
