    An impartial enquiry into the present state of the British distillery plainly demonstrating the evil consequences of imposing any additional duties on British spirits. And that all the Real Disorders and Immoralities justly complained of in the Method of Retailing them may be effectually remedied by a proper Regulation in the Home-Consumption of this Manufacture without the total Prohibition of it. Wherein also the manifest Absurdities and gross Imposition the Publick contained in a printed Pamphlet, entituled, Distilled Spirituous Liquors the Bane of the Nation. Are fully Detected and Exposed.
