This map of the public houses in "the Metropolis" (London), based on the Census of 1851, accompanied a paper on alcohol and crime. See Vaughan 2018, 179. The city is divided into 36 "registration districts," with red marks showing the places for the sale of alcohol and data concerning population and number of dealers. The author proposed legislative action by the Parliament, but acknowledged the great obstacles to any government action. He concluded by urging "a continuance of the efforts that have now been made for upwards of 20 years to promote, by example, and by appeals to the philanthropy and intelligence of the community, the entire disuse of intoxicating liquors."
