Publisher's Synopsis
The Curse of Britain is an essay written by William Richard Baker in 1838 that delves into the issue of intemperance in Britain. The book explores the causes and effects of alcohol abuse among the population, and the social and economic consequences of such behavior. Baker argues that the excessive consumption of alcohol is a curse that has plagued Britain for centuries and has led to poverty, crime, and disease. He provides a historical account of the rise of alcohol consumption in Britain and the way in which it has become embedded in the culture. The author also examines the role of the government, the church, and other institutions in addressing the issue of intemperance and proposes a cure for the problem. He advocates for education, moral reform, and the promotion of temperance societies as a means of combating the curse of alcohol. The Curse of Britain is a thought-provoking essay that sheds light on a significant social issue and provides insights into the challenges faced by society in addressing it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
