ration,
which,
from
the
acknowledged
ingenuity
of
French
Chemists,
must
be
considered
in
both
re-
spects,
elegant
in
the
extreme,
is
ready
to
be
racked
into
casks,
or
drawn
off
into
bottles,
and
to
be
shipped
to
this
country,
accompanied
with
all
the
instructions,
&c.
necessary
to
render
the
ad-
vertisements
and
placards,
respecting
it,
sufficiently
attractive.
Let
my
Readers
make
a
few
inquiries
as
I
have
done,
of
individuals
who
must
be
inti-
mately
acquainted
with
the
growth
and
manufac-
ture
of
French
Wines,
and
on
whose
veracity
they
can
depend,
and
they
will
find,
that
I
have
neither
made
any
exaggerated,
or
incorrect
statement,
of
the
prices
at
which
this
excellent
quality
of
Claret
is
to
be
purchased,
nor
of
the
component
parts
and
nature
of
its
composition
;
but,
on
the
contrary,
that
I
have
forborne
enlarging
on
some
facts,
too
disgusting
to
appear on
paper.
CHAMPAGNE.
As
is
the
case
with
several
of the
foreign
Wines
on
which
I
have
remarked,
one
of
the frauds
com-
mitted
on
the
Public with
this
costly
description
of
Wine,
through
the
attraction
of
cheap
prices,
is,
by
substituting
another
article
for
it,
(the
cost
of
which
is
very
considerably
lower,)
and
disposing
of
such,
as
the
real
Wine.
Gooseberry
Wine
(which,
though
genuine
in
it-
self,
and
bearing,
in
some
respects,
a
slight
re-
semblance,
yet
by
no
means
to
be
compared,
