Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Convention of Drunkards; A Satirical Essay on Intemperance: To Which Are Added, Three Speeches on the Same Subject; An Oration on the Anniversary of American Independence; And an Ode on the Completion of the Erie Canal The author, who has undertaken to report the doings of the convention of drunkards, was not present himself, but Mr. Cogitator, the secretary, gave him the history of the proceedings in a lucid vision of the night. The town of -- , in the state of Massachusetts, was the place where the convention was held. The honourable drunkards of every class in the state, being oppressed by cruel temperance measures, especially by the suspension of the license laws, became anxious to make an effort to extricate themselves from the whirlpool of this sweeping reformation. Therefore, some of the distinguished ones in their fraternity proposed the plan to call a convention of delegates, from every section of their besotted society, for the purpose of devising measures to regain their liberties, and to howl and lament with each other over the desolation which the system of temperance had brought upon them. The reader will perceive that the convention was formed of sots of all ranks, unexpectedly called upon to perform what they thought important business.
