32 pp. pamphlet, 9 x 6 inches, red ink number stamp at top of title page, rest unmarked. With the fragile blue printed wrapper, the wrapper now split and tattered with loss. Good. Pamphlet.
The wrapper contains information on Temperance in Great Britain. The grade noted is for the pamphlet contents and not the wrapper, which is poor.
Calls for a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors; advertises The Prohibitionist; describes the Presidential Declaration for total abstinence, signed by nine Presidents of the United States; describes future petitions of the United States Congress relative to Spirit Ration in the Navy, Keeping the Post Offices in Rum Shops, and the Prohibitory law in the District of Columbia.
