The Licensed Trade

The Licensed Trade: An Independent Survey (1907) is a book written by Edwin A. Pratt, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the licensed trade in the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the licensed trade, including the history of the industry, the licensing laws, the economics of the trade, and the social impact of alcohol consumption.Pratt's book is based on extensive research and includes data from a variety of sources, including government reports, industry statistics, and interviews with industry professionals. The book also includes a number of illustrations and photographs, which help to bring the subject matter to life.One of the key themes of the book is the tension between the interests of the licensed trade and those of the wider community. Pratt argues that while the trade is an important part of the national economy, it also has a negative impact on public health and social welfare. He suggests that the government needs to take a more active role in regulating the trade in order to protect the interests of the wider community.Overall, The Licensed Trade: An Independent Survey (1907) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the licensed trade in the United Kingdom, as well as those interested in the social and economic impact of alcohol consumption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
