either
in
cost
or
actual
quality,
to
the
real
and
ge-
nuine
Champagne,)
is
usually
employed
as
the
sub-
stitute
;
but, as
this
may
be
said
to
form
the
chief
imposition,
with regard
to
the
vending
cheap
Sparkling
Champagne,
from
the
premises
of
the
Dealer,
my
principal
object,
in
the
first
place,
will
be
to
explain
the
manner
in
which
this
Gooseberry
Wine
is
admitted
into
the
stocks,
even
of
our
largest
advertising
and
placarding
concerns,
and
sold
from
thence
as
genuine
Sparkling
Champagne,
and
afterwards
proceed
to
expose
the
admirable
basis
from
which
the
Sillery
and
Still,
together
with
the
Sparkling
Champagnes,
are
puffed
off
to
so
great
an
advantage,
as
being
in
the
London
Docks.
It
is
no
very
difficult
matter
to
suppose
that
many
of
my
Readers
would
have
no
ob-
jection,
occasionally,
to
drink
Gooseberry
Wine,
when
that
Wine
is
really
fine
and
of
good
quality,
yet,
very
few,
I
imagine, with
their
eyes
open,
would
quietly
submit
to
pay
treble
its
value,
be-
cause
sold
under
the
title
and
form
of
cheap
Cham-
pagne.
The
disclosures,
therefore,
which
I
am
about
to
make
with
respect
to
it,
will,
I
trust,
prove
amusing,
if
not
serviceable,
to
those
who
have
hitherto
so
easily
suffered
the
money
to
be
taken
out
of
their
pockets,
only
to
fill
those
of
the
advertiser
of
cheap
Wine.
It
is
well
known
as
a
fact,
to
many
in
the
trade,
that,
at
this
time,
large
parcels
of
Champagnes
are
lying
in
the
docks,
in
the
names
of
certain
individuals
in
London,
which,
