Description: The Curse of Rum, or the Invincible Crusade Against Intoxicating Drink By Arnold H. Blankman Published: Privately printed, (Syracuse, NY), 1888. FIRST EDITION. 311 pp. Hardcover in original cloth with gilt design embossed on front cover. With occasional black-and-white plates. An invective against alcohol, declaring and defending the claim that "rum and its allies are the basis and platform of universal crime." A call for temperance at the height of its advocacy preceding Prohibition in America. Spine dull, binding aged and worn as expected, thus a good serviceable copy in original brown cloth. Pressed leaves and their light staining between pages 146-147 and 306-307. A truly beautiful copy of this SCARCE work. Not Ex-Lib. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
