Publisher's Synopsis
An Argument Legal And Historical For The Legislative Prohibition Of The Liquor Traffic is a book written by Frederic Richard Lees in 1856. The book provides a comprehensive argument for the prohibition of the sale and consumption of alcohol. Lees draws on legal and historical evidence to support his argument, citing the negative effects of alcohol on society, including crime, poverty, and ill health. He also highlights the economic benefits of prohibition, arguing that it would reduce the burden on the state and increase productivity. The book is a seminal work in the temperance movement, which sought to reduce or eliminate the use of alcohol in society. It is a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of alcohol regulation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
