A long meditation on temperance and the agony of wives enduring a drunk husband. The piece contrasts a wife’s hopeful devotion with the ruinous results of alcohol, urging readers to confront the social harm and unite to curb intoxication.
A London view recalls George II’s era when nobles and servants drank freely and even the Prime Minister followed the habit. The piece notes American reformers and temperance societies aim to curb drunkenness and moral decline. It cites a Washingtonian quip equating daily drinking with theft and ends with a Puritan pun about swearing and curses.
