Second edition from a series of temperance broadsides issued by Rhode Island gadfly Thomas Man (1795-1880). This one is devoted entirely to Providence liquor dealer Harvey Perry. A drunk propped up against a lamp post is captioned "Perry's Pupil." "By what name shall we call the Rum Seller? There is no such beast on the earth, nor under the earth. What a cursed wretch! Scorn--Contempt--Shame--Infamy--rest on his memory." 2 in OCLC.
