Booze Lit from Google Books

Booze Lit from Google Books

Herein is my personal catalog of reference and other books of particular interest to me that have been scanned and made available in PDF format via Google Books. They've proved a really marvelous resource, and one which is getting steadily better, larger and more useful. While it's handy and convenient to let them store the things so they'll be at your fingertips whenever you're on the web, a cautionary type might want to download copies of at least the ones of most interest. Google is a corporation, with more rights - thanks to Big Tony and the Supremes - and less responsibilities than these anachronisms we call individuals, and they can do whatever they bloody well want to at any time they want to do it.

This is all here because either I can't figure out how to use the tools Google Books provides to do this, or their tools are insufficient and overly fussy. I'm betting the latter.

Feel free to borrow any or all of this, with the understanding that an attribution will keep the karma dogs off your ass.

On a technical note, I've attempted to extract informative or at least entertaining bits from the prefaces or other parts of some of the books. These will appear in this differently colored format which, thankfully, at least isn't blinking. These extracts may contain extraneous artifacts from Google's OCR rendering of the PDF scans into text that I've been too lazy to fix.

On another technical note, I'll occasionally add reviews, comments, etc. from sources external to the books, which will added in a wee font like this.

On a really annoying technical note, some entries will be shown in blue. These are so indicated because they exist and should - by any reading of copyright law not involving Sonny Bono and DisneyCorp - be available. Their non-availability makes me blue in the Buddy Guy way.

If you feel you must get in touch with me so you can send me mint copies of any or all of the books listed below, then send some electrons to baum@stommel.tamu.edu.

Long before these investigations were undertaken, however, this fact was generally known; and the student of history would find it an easy task to adduce proof of its having been well appreciated. lu all ages beer-drinking nations have been remarkable for unusual intrepidity, great strength, vigor and vitality. It was not until after the introduction of ardent spirits into England, that the enervation of the masses was spoken of in connection with intemperate drinking-habits. The proceedings of the first Congress of the United States, and the state papers submitted tothat body, prove that the most eminent among the founders of our republic appreciated what was then styled " the moralizing tendency and salubrious nature of fermented liquors/' In 1789, the legislature of Massachusetts passed an act encouraging the manufacture of beer for the reason—set forth in the preamble— that the " wholesome qualities of malt liquors greatly recommend them to general use as an important means of preserving the health of the citizens." In colonial days, long before Dr. Rush began his agitation in favor of beer, the law-makers strove by all means at their command to popularize beer for sanitary reasons. When, in 1759, parliament had under consideration the proposition to re-enact a law of the preceding session, prohibiting malt distillation, petitions were received from the mayors and aldermen of nearly all the larger cities of Great Britain, London among them, setting forth that the law, which they begged to have re-enacted, had " produced the happiest consequences upon the morals, behavior, industry and health of the lower classes," by winning them back to the use of malt-liquors. Such evidences might be multiplied at will. But they would not be to the point in the present undertaking.
