Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a persuasive, 19th-century critique of British society, which argues that excessive consumption of alcohol is a significant cause of the social and economic ills of the time. The author, an experienced traveler and social reformer, presents evidence that excessive drinking was widespread across all strata of society, causing poverty, crime, and destruction of family life. This book examines the extent, causes, and consequences of the drunkenness epidemic prevalent in early 19th-century Britain. Drawing on parliamentary records, hospital statistics, and personal observations, the author argues that drinking was a major contributor to a host of social problems, including poverty, crime, and domestic abuse. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
