Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1873, centers on the results of Canada's 1870 Select Committee investigation into the 'Prohibitory Liquor Law'. Their work in examining the health, social, economic, and criminal implications of alcohol consumption, and the production and sale of alcohol within the Dominion of Canada, led to groundbreaking findings, excerpted here. The report is broken into three main parts: statistical evidence submitted by sheriffs, doctors, coroners, and other officials; the findings of these bodies; and a record of sworn testimony from Canadians from all walks of life. The overall conclusion is clear and forceful: alcohol consumption was a great evil, and action should be taken by the government to bring about prohibition. This book is an essential primary source on the issue of prohibition in North America, and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the temperance movement, the history of Canadian society and law, or public health. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
