Excerpt from The Laws of Fermentation: And the Wines of the Ancients The proofs are stated on the authorities to which they are credited, and who are to be held responsible for their accuracy. Many, however, of these authorities I have verified by my personal examination, and to these I have added new ones. The use made of the facts, as well as the reasonings connected with them, is obviously my own. For the exposition of many passages of Scripture I must be held responsible. My simple aim is to present this important subject in a manner so plain that all readers of the Bible may understand what are my convictions of its teachings on the subject of temperance, and particularly of the wine question.
