MASSACHUSETTS LIFE BOAT, Boston, Oct. 19, 1853  

* Rare temperance movement publication
* Abstinence of alcohol - beer - liquor

As noted in the masthead, this newspaper is: "Devoted To Temperance, Morals, Education, Business, and General Information." Temperance seems to be the dominant theme of many articles.
We believe this is the first of this title we have offered.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, several folds, good condition.
