A reprint of the early nineteenth century work on the benefits of eating a vegetarian diet written by Dr. William A. Alcott, co-founder of the American Vegetarian Society
William Andrus Alcott Books
Alcott was one of the most prolific authors of early American history, frequently writing on education and health. Vegetarianism was a central passion throughout his life, a subject on which he corresponded with major newspapers and served as the founding president of the American Vegetarian Society. He also explored the physiology of marriage, cautioning against the dangers of unbridled courtship, a stance for which he has drawn criticism for rigidity. As a founder of the world's first physiological society, Alcott remained a committed writer and intellectual until the very end of his life.
