A historical sketch contrasts Buckle’s view of seventeenth century Scotland as grim and joyless with anecdotes on early temperance movements. It recounts strict Sabbath conduct, ministers’ woes, and the moral policing of music, poetry, and dining, plus a later vignette about a boy misremembering Manila and temperance lore from Boston and Cincinnati papers.
