The Origin and Course of Intemperance: A Poem, in Five Cantos is a literary work written by John Thomas and published in 1832. The book is a poetic account of the history and progression of intemperance, exploring the causes and consequences of excessive drinking and its impact on society. The poem is divided into five cantos, each focusing on a different aspect of intemperance, from its origins in ancient times to its prevalence in contemporary society. Through vivid imagery and powerful language, Thomas presents a compelling argument against intemperance, urging readers to resist the temptation to indulge in excessive drinking and instead embrace a life of moderation and sobriety. The book is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the attitudes and beliefs surrounding alcohol consumption in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint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.
