Removed. A very good copy with foxing to a few preliminary and concluding leaves. 70 pp. 8vo. An important document of the two-wine theory. Though Temperance reformers initially called for total abstinence from distilled liquor eventually the reasoning of the New Reformers led by the New York Temperance Society called for a total ban on wine since all intoxicating liquors were immoral. But the Bible appear to sanction the use of wine. In this essay Moses Stuart the first great Biblical scholar in America wrestles with the question for the first time. While he admits that the Bible allows for the use of pure wine he also shows that it strongly condemned intoxication. Wines of the nineteenth century were much stronger than Biblical wines and thus they would not meet with scriptural approval. Thus the Bible allowed for total abstinence. Sabin 93198. Amer.
