To
persons,
indifferent
as to
what
they
place
on
their
tables
for
Wine,
so
long
as
the
taste
some-
what
resembles
the
denomination
it
bears,
fact
and
reasoning
would
be
alike
uselessly
addressed.
In
the
first
place,
as
regards
the
facilities
for
the
adulteration
of
Wine,
they
are,
with
little
differ-
ence,
possessed
as
equally
by
the
Wholesale
Dealers,
as
by
the
Gin-shop
cheap
Wine
venders,
unless
where
the
retail
consumption
of
the
latter,
or
what
they
sell
in
glasses,
is
so large, as
to
give
them,
in
this
respect,
a great
advantage.
The
Wholesale
Wine
Merchant's
License,
enables
him
to
dispose
of
Wine
in
quantities,
as
small
as
a
single
bottle,
and
does
not
enforce
his
drawing
a
permit,
but
for
quantities
amounting
to
more
than
one
dozen,
the
additional
opportunity,
therefore,
which
the
Gin-shop-keepers
have,
and
which
must
account
for
their
forming
the
majority
amongst
our
Placarders
and
Advertisers
of
cheap
Wine,
arises
from
what
they
retail
by
the
glass,
or
in
measures
less
than
a
bottle,
but
which
conse-
quently,
can
only
be
of
any
very
great
benefit,
where
much
is
sold
in
that
way.
In
other
respects,
he
is
subject
to
precisely
the
same
regulations,
as
to
drawing
a
permit,
&c.
as
the
Wholesale
Dealer.
It
may,
however, be
proper
to
remark
here,
that
although
upon
the
whole,
both
classes
are
open
to
facilities,
almost
as
available
to
the
one
as
the
other,
yet,
comparatively,
but
little
chance
of
adul-
terating
their
goods,
exists,
with
those
who
carry
