Fred -- one good place to start, probably, would be Cherrington's
Standard Encyclopedia of the Alcohol Problem, which the list has been
discussing.  He tried to cover the world.  Robin

Subject: Re: Temperance in 19thc Antigua


        I came across a reference to a temperance society in St. John's
parish and on the estates of Wesleyan missionaries in Antigua in 1837
(Joseph Sturge and Thomas Harvey, The West Indies in 1837 being a
journal
of a visit to Antigua...London 1838, Appendix A:vi). I wish to learn
more
about temperance societies and reformers in the British Caribbean,
especially Jamaica and Barbados. Who were the reformers and where can I
find information about temperance societies in the 19thc British
Caribbean?

                                                        Thank you, Fred
Smith
