gin shops in London during one week 142,000
men, 108,000 women & 18,000 children
Total 268,000, which esstablishments are the
resort of multitudes of wretched & emancipated beings
& their is upwards of 5,000 of these houses in the
city of London alone, which are licensed to sell intox
icating liquors, "The actual cost of intoxicating
liquors in England including their manufacture & the
duties paid upon them is upwards of Fifty Millions
Sterling annually. To this large sum may be added
Fifty Millions more, arising from the effectt.["] It
is reported to be 80,000 prostitutes in the Metropolis
It is also stated upon correct Data that there is
not less than 600,000 drunkards male & female in the
United Empire & that out of this number 50,000 die
annually, or 137 daily (See St Luke 21 ch 34. 35.)
This is truly a drunken generation, that will not
understand the day of their visitation.
I also read in the British And Foreign Temperance
Intelligencer Printed in London, Mr. J. S. Buckingham
Address, To the members of the Temperance Societies
throughout the United Kingdom, upon the subject of his
three years tour which he has just taken throughout
the United States of America, with the following
Motto Temperance—Education—Benevolence & Peace,
& had deliverd lectures in almost evry city & large
town in America. I found this address interesting
& I herd the same deliverd from Mr Buckinghams
own mouth before a large audiance assembled in a
Theater in Milton Street London on the 28^th of Dec 1840
Mr J. S. Buckingham is one of the greatest Travellers
of the last. He has published his travels through India
Egypt & Palestine & many other parts of the world
which are quite interesting.
I wrote two letters to John Griffiths & John Rowley
