About This Item
New York: American Temperance Union, 1853. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Disbound pamphlet without wrappers. 24 pp; very good. Maine was the first state in the nation to enact a bill criminalizing all purchases of alcohol other than for medicinal or industrial uses. The so-called "Maine Law" was passed in May, 1851. Here, national temperance leaders refute arguments about problems caused by the law, provide statistics supporting its benefits, and argue for similar laws to be enacted in every state.
