Our National Vice is a book written by William Reid in 1858 that examines the issue of drunkenness in America. The author argues that alcohol consumption is a major problem in the country and that it leads to a wide range of social and economic issues, including poverty, crime, and domestic violence. Reid provides a historical overview of drinking in the United States, tracing its roots back to colonial times and highlighting the role of alcohol in American culture. He also discusses the various efforts to combat drunkenness, including temperance societies and legal measures such as the prohibition of alcohol. Throughout the book, Reid presents a compelling case for why alcohol should be limited or eliminated altogether in order to improve the well-being of the nation. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex issue that continues to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
