Pleas For Prohibition is a non-fiction book written by Samuel White Small in 1890. The book is a collection of essays and speeches advocating for the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. Small was a prominent figure in the temperance movement, which sought to curb the consumption of alcohol in the country. The book contains a variety of arguments for prohibition, including moral, social, and economic reasons. Small argues that alcohol is a destructive force that ruins lives, families, and communities. He cites statistics and anecdotes to demonstrate the negative effects of alcohol, such as crime, poverty, and disease. Small also addresses common objections to prohibition, such as the idea that it would infringe on personal freedom. He argues that the greater good of society justifies limiting individual choice in this case. Overall, Pleas For Prohibition is a passionate and persuasive call to action for those who believe that alcohol should be banned in the United States. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and political climate of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
