Strana 23 - Such a shameful degree of profligacy prevailed, that the retailers of this poisonous compound set up painted boards in public, inviting people to be drunk for the small expense of one penny ; assuring them they might be dead drunk for two-pence, and have straw for nothing.
Strana 24 - They accordingly provided cellars and places strewed with straw, to which they conveyed those wretches who were overwhelmed with intoxication. In these dismal caverns they lay until they had recovered some use of their faculties, and then they had recourse to the same mischievous potion ; thus consuming their health, and ruining their families, in hideous receptacles of the most filthy vice, resounding with riot, execration, and blasphemy.
Strana 39 - Nothing could be more salutary than the purposes of these regulations : the suburbs of the metropolis abounded with an incredible number of public houses, which continually resounded with the noise of riot and intemperance ; they were the haunts of idleness, fraud, and rapine, and the seminaries of drunkenness, debauchery, extravagance, and every vice incident to human nature...

Strana 23 - In one place not far from East Smithfield ... a trader has a large empty room backwards where, as his wretched guests get intoxicated, they are laid together in heaps, promiscuously, men, women, and children...
Strana 140 - Correction ; some alehouse keepers and vintners have been fined for drawing drink on the Sabbath-day ; but all this falls upon us of the mob, as if all the vice lay among us. We appeal to yourselves, whether laws or proclamations are capable of having any effect while the very benches of our justices are infected? 'Tis hard, gentlemen, to be punished for a crime by a man as guilty as ourselves : this is really punishing men for being poor, which is no crime at all ; as a thief may be said to be hanged...
Strana 116 - The new Beer Bill has begun its operations. Everybody is drunk. Those who are not singing are sprawling. The sovereign people are in a beastly state.
