First separate edition. Single leaf folded to make four pages. Neat vertical crease, slight age-toning at the extremities, very good or better. Leacock states: I am honestly and sincerely opposed to prohibition as a matter of principle. It is my candid belief that the adoption of prohibition in the United States is the worst disaster that has fallen upon the republic since its organization. If it could last, it would undermine the foundations of government itself. If it could last, it would in time bring down the strongest political fabric into anarchy and dissolution." Also appended is "What Henry Ward Beecher Thought: From a Sermon Delivered by Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, December 3, 1882." Very uncommon. *OCLC* locates a single copy.
