Item description from seller

pp 249. 'This book is an examination of Father Mathew's crusade against drink by means of a critical analysis of key issues that ere central to it. These include the rise and progress of the Mathewite temperance movement in the context of pre-Famine Ireland; the influence of the movement on drink consumption and on crime; the extent to which superstitious beliefs helped or hindered it; its relationship with the repeal movement and the attitude of the Catholic clergy and there is an attempt to assess the long term significance of the crusade." Book lacks dust-jacket.
