Focused on the prohibition of alcohol...



Item # 701253

February 01, 1848

NEW HAMPSHIRE TEMPERANCE BANNER, Manchester, February 1848

* Rare anti Alcohol - temperance publication

A scarce title, not recorded in Union List of Serials, and the American Antiquarian Society has only 5 issues.
The motto in the masthead: "Wine is a Mocker, Strong Drink is Raging; Whosoever is Deceived Thereby is Not Wise."
As would be expected, much content on the prohibition of alcohol in society.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, minor wear at margins, nice condition.
