1818 Some Enquiries Into the Effects of Fermented Liquor
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Very Scarce
The second edition of this very scarce work.
Illustrated with seven engraved plates. Collated, complete.
First published in 1814, Montagu's work is in actuality somewhat of an anthology of views on various aspects of alcohol.
Including brief mentions of so-called "Hashisha and Kief".
Drawing on medical opinion, anecdotal evidence, and philosophical reflection, Montagu argues that even moderate use of fermented liquors can impair health, cloud judgement, and encourage vice.
Condition
In half calf, with marbled paper covered boards. Back strip significantly age toned, with rubbing to back strip head and tail, and horizontal closed tear towards back strip head. Rear joint and head of front joint starting, with boards firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright, with handling marks and instances of spotting throughout, with foxing to plates and surrounding leaves.
