Better Not: A Discussion Of Certain Social Customs is a book written by John Heyl Vincent and published in 1892. The book is a collection of essays that discuss various social customs that were prevalent during the time. Vincent examines the customs from a moral and ethical perspective and questions their validity and usefulness in modern society. Some of the customs that Vincent discusses include smoking, drinking, gambling, and dancing. He argues that these activities are harmful to individuals and society as a whole and that they should be avoided. Vincent’s writing is thoughtful and insightful, and he provides a unique perspective on social customs that is still relevant today. Overall, Better Not is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reconsider their own social customs and the impact they have on their lives and the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
