Book Description

Excerpt from The Cyclopedia of Temperance and Prohibition: A Reference Book of Facts, Statistics and General Information on All Phases of the Drink Question, the Temperance Movement and the Prohibition Agitation The central aim has been, while particularizing with as great exhaustiveness as possible within the limits fixed by the publishers, to subordinate minutes to outlines. The aggregate number of articles may seem comparatively small, and each reflecting reader will probably be able to make up a list of appropriate topics not formally treated under separate titles. But it is hoped that the care which has been expended on the leading articles, and the effort which has been made to embrace in these arti cles the legitimate accessory subjects, will be satisfactory recompense. And though numerous branches are thus considered incidentally, the reader will be able to locate them by due use of the Index. In such a work, indeed, where so many details are presented accessorily, the Index is a most important feature.
