Excerpt from The Foundation of Death: A Study of the Drink-Question With the avowed aim of dealing with the entire liquor question from every side and standpoint, it has not been possible within the limits of a work cheap enough to be in reach of the working classes, to deal fully with the drink question of all countries in Chapters X. And XIII., on Social Results and What can be Done And for many reasons Great Britain is almost exclusively considered in both these chapters, especially in the last. In each of the thirteen chapters I have tried to include only what belongs under its particular heading, and to the best of my ability, the contents of each chapter, and all the chapters in relation to each other, have been arranged and proportioned so as to bring the whole into good focus for the reader, at whatever point he may incline to take up the subject.
