Vegetable Diet by William A Alcott
First published in 1849, this vintage book contains an exposition of vegetarianism, with chapters on its history, nutritional value, scientific evidence and observations, and much more. Vegetable Diet will appeal to existing vegetarians and those considering the lifestyle alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: Origin of this Work, Letters to Dr. North, Remarks on the Foregoing Letters, Additional Intelligence, Testimony of Other Medical Men, Both of Ancient and Modern Times, Testimony of Philosophers and Other Eminent Men, Societies and Communities on the Vegetable System, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on vegetarianism.
William A. Alcott (1798-1859), physician, relative of Little Women author Louisa May Alcott, and founding member of the American Vegetarian Society, was also an educator, reformer, physician, and author of 108 books. He became one of the most prolific authors in early American history, and he wrote frequently on health and educational reform, as well as physical education, school and house design, family life, and diet. Many of his works are still widely cited today.
