Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Examination of the Essays Bacchus and Anti-Bacchus 1. Bacchus. An Essay on the Nature, Causes, Effects, and Cure of Intemperance. By Ralph Barnes Grindrod. First American, from the third English edition, edited by Charles A. Lee, A. M., M. D. New York: J. & H. G. Langley. pp. 512. 2. Anti-Bacchus. An Essay on the Evils connected with the use of Intoxicating Drinks. By the Rev. B. Parsons, of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. Revised and amended, with an Introduction, by the Rev. John Marsh, Cor. Secretary of the American Temperance Union. New York: Scofield & Voorhees. pp. 360. These Essays owe their origin to an offer of one hundred sovereigns as a premium "for the best Essay on the Benefits of Total Abstinence from all Intoxicating Drinks." The premium was awarded to Mr. Grindrod, yet in the opinion of one of the three adjudicators Mr. Parsons was entitled to that distinction. The comparative merit of the two Essays we shall not undertake to discuss, as our purpose is merely to examine some of the positions assumed, and to show that they are utterly untenable, being contrary to the word of God and the testimony of antiquity. So far as the object of these Essays is to promote temperance, we cordially opprove it; and we only regret that in the prosecution of an object so important, and so benevolent, the authors have not confined themselves to arguments which will stand the most rigid scrutiny.
