Anecdotical work on the drunkenness of popes, bishops, saints, poets, philosophers, and scientist, on countries of drunkards, such as Germany. - The title is somewhat of a misnomer, as the text gives the history of drinking in various countries with copious references rather than an eulogy of drinking.` (Bitting).
