We agree to abstain from all liquors of an intoxicating quality, whether ale, porter, wine or ardent spirits, except at medicine....

The story of the Temperance Movement, from the signing of the first pledge, in a cheese merchant's shop in Preston in 1832, down to the present day; with some of the hymns, ballads and recitations composed in support of the cause.

In the gas-lit 'public'
Faltering footsteps stray.
When the home is reached at last
All the money's gone:
Isn't that a grievous sight
To have to look upon?
