To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is mainly by drinkers that our courts are supported. Let our intelligent lawyers, let our judges, sherififs, justices. Sic. Slc. answer the question, <« Does not most, if not nearly all of your criminal business have its origin in drinking?" But in case alcoholic drinks did not excite the merely animal passions, or in case they equaUy stimulated the moral faculties, or especially if they stimulated the moral sentinients only^ this state of things would be reversed, and drinking would render mankind more virtuous instead of most vicious.
TliiS principle explains the fact that alcohol often renders a goodmaa a real demon incarnate. So long as the moral and intellectu^ organs predominate, no matter if the animal propensities are vigorous. If duly governed, the more the better, for they impart force. When the two are about equal, with the moral in ascendancy, and the animal not stim itlated, all goes right; but a Utde stimulant will turn the scales, and thus render a rc^y gcK>d man a very bad one.
