Anti-Bacchus is an essay written by Benjamin Parsons in 1840. The book discusses the various crimes, diseases, and other negative effects that are associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The author argues that alcohol is a dangerous substance that leads to a wide range of social and health problems, including addiction, violence, poverty, and disease. Parsons also examines the cultural and historical roots of alcohol consumption, and provides a detailed analysis of the social and economic factors that contribute to its widespread use. The book is a passionate plea for temperance and sobriety, and it remains an important historical document in the ongoing debate over alcohol and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
