About This Item
[n.p: n.p.], 1847. Softcover. Good. Pamphlet (approximately 5" x 7 7/8"), stitched as issued. 16pp. Original light green printed paper wrappers. A group of clergymen and lay persons in Norwich, Connecticut formed an association in 1847 to battle drunkenness. The group drafted a constitution and a pledge to use their influence to "cause the due execution of all laws for suppressing dram shops and other kindred establishments. . . " By June of 1847, the Association had managed to garner over 600 signatures of those willing to take the pledge. This pamphlet, which does not appear in OCLC, sets out the organizational structure of the association, expands on its arguments against "rumsellers" and owners of gambling houses, and lists the over 600 names of those who had taken the pledge. Scarce. A few stains and crease marks with 5 small numbers in red ink at the top left hand corner of front wrapper. Right lower corners dog eared. A good copy.
