Excerpt from Alcoholism: A Chapter in Social Pathology The object of the following essay is to give, in as concise a form as is compatible with clearness and accuracy, a summary of the fundamental data of the drink question, having regard more particularly to the connection of alcoholism with industrial conditions.The predominant importance of this latter aspect of intemperance is, as a rule, very inadequately recognised in the discussion of the liquor problem in this country, and in the practical schemes that most commend themselves to the temperance reformer little, if any, account is ever taken of it. In this fact lies the raison detre of the present volume, which, it need hardly be added, is designed merely to point out the omission, and has no pretension to repair it. In dealing with so vast a subject it would obviously be impossible, without burdening the text with notes, to give exact references to all the writers whose works have been laid under contribution.
