Scenes Of Intemperance, Exhibited In Familiar Conversations,Between A Mother And Her Children by Harvey Newcomb is a 19th-century didactic work intended for young readers. Framed as a mother’s conversations with her children, the volume presents a sequence of illustrated scenes that depict the ruinous effects of drink: cruelty to wives, neglect of children, poverty, illness, imprisonment, and deadly accidents caused by intoxication. Each scene is accompanied by parental guidance and moral commentary, linking behavior to religious duty, repentance, and salvation. The Preface explains that the stories are drawn from authentic sources and presented without exaggeration to educate children about temperance and moral living. Originally written for the American Sunday-School Union and revised by its Committee of Publication, the book follows Scenes I–VII, tracing how initial indulgence can lead to habitual drunkenness, social decay, and spiritual peril, and ends with a sober exhortation to abstain from spirits and seek divine grace.
