Sobre este artículo
London: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1963. Leaving aside the early manorial and municipal regulations, the Webs take up their subject with the introduction of national measures at the close of the 15th-century. They show that the regulation of traffic, from the first, was not based on any abstract theory, but on the practical necessities of the state. The legislators dealt with liquor traffic as an enemy of social peace. But these efforts were constantly thwarted by its value as a source of revenue, and the governmental policy of encouraging the great brewing and distilling industries. Under James 1 an elaborate system of strict control was developed, but at the end of the 17th century a General laxness set in and justices began to the neglect their duty. Drunkenness increase enormously and the government encouraged the liquor industry by several favorable statutes. The ensuing excesses caused a reaction and in 1729 and 1736 parliament adopted a strong restrictive policy of high license and heavy taxation on the retail trade. This was followed by another period of parliamentary laxness and an increase in drunkenness and depravity, which itself caused a reaction in the next reform movement, initiated in 1786 /87 by a royal proclamation. The number of licenses were so reduced that the anti-monopolist led a successful campaign, resulting in the beer act of 1830. The effect was instantaneous; in less than six months. 24,342 new beer shops were opened, with an inevitable increasing crime and social disorder. At this point, the Webs close their research, but they append a general survey of legislation up to the end of the 19th century. 176 pp, including index A FINE (As UNREAD) COPY.
