Note 339 — Chapter XIV

“Prohibitory Liquor Legislation in the United States,” by Justin M’Carthy, “Fortnightly Review,” August 1871, p. 166. Although a writer on America is here quoted, the author has not trusted to printed testimony in any of these observations upon the drinking habits of the United States. He has verified them from the experience of numerous friends and acquaintances who have travelled and resided in the States, Englishmen, Germans, and Americans themselves.
