Excerpt from History of a Zoological Temperance Convention: Held in Central Africa in 1847
This Fable was originally prepared for delivery at Temperance Meetings and Celebrations, and was thus used on several occasions in Massachusetts. It is now published with the addition of many new facts, derived from a further study of the original documents, in the hope that this allegorical mode of exhibiting Temperance and some other important subjects, may excite more interest than a method more didactic. At least the story may afford innocent amusement for a leisure hour.
I consider myself fortunate in having secured the aid of Mr. Richard L. Hinsdale, of Worcester, to prepare the illustrations of this work.
