Ten Nights in a Bar Room - Arthur T. S.

This vintage book contains T. S. Arthur's 1854 novel, "10 Nights in a Bar-Room - And What I Saw There". A seminal American Temperance novel, on its initial publication, "10 Nights in a Bar-Room" matched "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in popularity. It satisfied the common desire for the sensationally lurid tales - whilst simultaneously being welcomed by the church. This antiquarian volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the temperance novel form, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Arthur's work. Timothy Shay Arthur (1809 - 1885) was a celebrated nineteenth-century American author. Many antiquarian texts such as this, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
