Published: Privately printed, (Syracuse, NY), 1888. FIRST EDITION.

311pp. Hardcover in original cloth with gilt design embossed on front cover.With occasional black-and-white plates. An invective against alcohol, declaring and defending the claim that \"rum and its allies are the basis and platform of universal crime.\" A call for temperance at the height of its advocacy preceding Prohibition in America. Spine dull, binding aged and worn as expected, thus a good serviceable copy in original brown cloth. Pressed leaves and their light staining between pages 146-147 and 306-307.

A truly beautiful copy of this SCARCE work. Not Ex-Lib.
