The book ""Prohibition Of The Sale Of Intoxicating Liquors Impracticable: The Maine Law A Failure, A Stringent License Law The True Policy"" was written by Benjamin Franklin Clark and was published in 1864. The book is a critique of the Maine Law, which was enacted in 1851 and prohibited the sale of alcohol. Clark argues that the law was impractical and failed to achieve its intended purpose of reducing alcohol consumption and related social problems. He proposes a different approach, namely a stringent license law, which would regulate the sale of alcohol and generate revenue for the government. Clark argues that such a law would be more effective in reducing alcohol-related problems while also being more practical and realistic. The book provides a historical perspective on the debate over alcohol regulation in the United States and sheds light on the challenges and complexities of addressing this issue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
