The book The Number of Alehouses: Shown to be Extremely Pernicious to the Public, in a Letter to a Member of Parliament by Roger Coke was published in 1758. The book is a letter addressed to a Member of Parliament, in which the author argues that the proliferation of alehouses in England is harmful to society. Coke suggests that the abundance of alehouses leads to a rise in drunkenness, which in turn leads to a decline in productivity and an increase in crime. He also argues that the alehouses are often run by unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of their customers and contribute to the degradation of society.The author proposes a number of solutions to the problem, including limiting the number of alehouses in each town and imposing stricter regulations on their operation. He also suggests that the government should promote the consumption of tea as a healthier alternative to alcohol.Overall, The Number of Alehouses is a thought-provoking and well-reasoned argument against the proliferation of alehouses in 18th century England. It provides valuable insights into the social and economic issues of the time and offers potential solutions to a problem that continues to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
