註釋

'Ten Nights in a Bar Room, ' considered by many to be one of the best temperance novels of the 19th century, tells the story of a mill owner who sells his mill to build a tavern in town, A morality tale, it portrays the evil of alcohol as told by a visitor to the town who stays at the tavern for ten days over a period of ten years. As the book so vividly portrays, customers and owner are all too weak to resist the temptations of demon rum. Written by Timothy Shay Arthur, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the pro-temperance literature of the 19th century
