dc.description.abstract | My object will be attained if I shall have awakened this new
idea in any of your minds, so that it may lead to a further and
more searching investigation of this important question. For surely
it will be considered by all a matter of no light importance, to
ascertain whether, in indulging our propensity for alcoholic stimulants,
we may not be handing down to our children the seeds of
fierce desire, which will, almost of necessity, hurry them in a
career of vice and crime, and cause them to transmit to their successors,
in accumulating force, those influences which lead to a
rapid deterioration of our race. | en |
