My indistinct memory is that Baird figures in Sidsel Eriksen's wonderful
paper explaining why temperance took a strong hold in Sweden but not
in Denmark: Drunken Danes and sober Swedes? Religious revivalism and
the temperance movements as keys to Danish and Swedish folk
cultures, pp. 55-94 in Bo Strath, ed., Language and Construction of Class
Identities: The Struggle for Discursive Power in Social
Organization:Scandinavia and Germany after 1800  (Gothenburg, 1990).
   Eriksen's fax, as of a while ago, is +45-32-36 44 06.
   Pinson mentions Baird as having inspired the earliest abstinence
society in Iceland: Ann Pinson, Temperance, prohibition and politics in
nineteenth-century Iceland, Contemporary Drug Problems 12:249-266,
1985 (at p. 256).
