Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
It was during the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
that the problem of chronic alcohol dependence in modern society
and its consequent medical effects emerged. The topic of
drunkenness figures prominently in the thinking and writing of
social reformers, politicians, theorists, medical practitioners,
and psychiatrists. Eventually, by the mid-nineteenth century,
'alcoholism' was named as the disease of habitual drunkenness.
Possibly the most important book to predict this was Trotter's
Essay, written in 1804. Through case studies based on wide
experience, he detailed the manifestations of alcoholism, ventured
therapeutic recommendations, and squarely termed drunkenness a
disease - indeed, a mental disease. Originally published in 1988 as
part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry series,
Roy Porter's Introduction to this facsimile reprint locates
Trotter's work within the wider history of the evolution of the
idea of alcoholism. It also examines the Essay in the context of
Trotter's own life and mind - a mind preoccupied with what he saw
as the degenerative tendencies of modern civilization and with the
wider issues of drug dependence.

for solo organ. This superb volume contains twelve varied pieces
arranged for organ by celebrated recitalist Thomas Trotter. A
selection of orchestral, piano, and vocal originals, including
works by Delibes, Gounod, Grieg, Eric Coates, and Madeleine Dring,
has been transcribed with a finely honed sense of idiom so as to be
manageable on most organs. All the pieces are short and suitable
for use as recital encores, but they would also be effective as
programmed items in recitals of lighter works, and in some cases as
church voluntaries.
