About this book
The chapter on the early history of beer introduces a substantial quotation from a paper by Hans von der Planitz, valued for accounts of customs and manners as well as historical facts. The historical discussion describes scientific interest in fermentation and says the clergy took their full share in drinking the barley juice under discussion.
The argument on temperance maintains that restraining drunkenness requires social change and that legal prohibition can do little while other conditions remain unchanged. The temperance argument maintains that encouraging beer can drive out ardent spirits and that thoroughly understanding and practising this idea will bring the long expected temperance era.
