Introduction

OF the few good and deservedly popular writers of the present day, none stand better with the reading community than T. S. ARTHUR; and no class of books are more highly appreciated, nor should be more widely circulated than his celebrated and admirable Tempe rance Tales, which are contained in this volume.

This series of TEMPERANCE TALES, entitled "Six NIGHTS WITH THE WASHINGTONIANS, AND OTHER TEM PERANCE TALES," were written by him, when the ques tion of " Total Abstinence" was convulsing the whole country, and though among his earlier productions, are not inferior, in any respect, to his subsequent writings; and their circulation, as originally published separately, in pamphlet form, far exceeded that of any publications of a similar character ever issued.

Tne great demand for a uniform and complete edition of T. S. Arthur s celebrated TEMPERANCE TALES, has in duced the Publishers to issue a new, complete, uniform, and beautiful edition of them in one volume, in its pre sent form, under the title of "Six NIGHTS WITH THE WASHINGTONIANS, AND OTHER TEMPERANCE TALES," trusting that a copy of them in this new form may find its way into every house and cottage in the land.
