Présentation de l'éditeur :
“At least the brewers were aware of the problem of overdrinking.” -Maynard Andrew Amerine, “A Bibliography on Grapes, Wines, Other Alcoholic Beverages, and Temperance”
“I have alluded to wine-drinking as a partly intellectual and partly physical enjoyment. Among material enjoyments, it is one of the most spiritual; among spiritual ones, one of the most material, keeping about the right middle course. A history of the art of drinking would prove this. Everywhere in the history of nations we shall come upon times where amid a fulness of physical power, the desire for more refinement in outward life, as well as a striving for greater inner perfection, began to manifest itself. In Germany, the time of the Reformation was such a period. And at such times, when outer and inner powers begin to stir with wonderful energy--times as yet divided between old roughness and new humanity; between the coarse, ordinary fare of every day for mind and imagination, and the new hope of some finer nourishment--at such times the genial enjoyment of wine, and the delights of regular social pleasures, have always struck deepest root and had freest play.”
TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. G. G. Gervinus (1805-1871) is recognized as one of the foremost historians of Germany. He was a man of marvelous erudition. His fame rests not only upon a great number of profoundly learned works, but also upon his brilliant advocacy of the constitutional rights of the people, as against the reactionary tendency of the German princes during Metternich's despotic rule. He was one of the seven celebrated professors of the University of Goettingen who boldly protested against the violation of the Constitution by the King of Hanover. His best-known works are "History of the Poetical Literature of the Germans," "History of the Nineteenth Century," and a voluminous commentary on Shakspeare, "made popular in England"--as the Encyclopaedia Britannica states--"by an excellent translation." The following sketch was designed by Gervinus as an outline of what a history of potology would be, if conceived and executed by a philosophical mind. An English translation of this sketch needs no justification in our time.
