of
the
finest
quality,
are
improved
by
lying
to-
gether
in
so
large
a
body
;
the
next,
that
his
sell-
ing
exclusively
for
ready
money
only,
enables
him
to
part
with
his
Wine
at so
low
a
price,
and
that
it
scarcely
affords
him
any
profit
at
all.
The
Wine
tastes
full
to
the
palate,
is
of
brilliant
colour,
and
if
Port,
the
purchaser
is
assured
(and
with
truth,
from
obvious
reasons
which
shall
be
shown
to
my
Readers,)
that
it
will
be
quite
crusted
in
two
or
three
months.
These,
and
other
like as-
surances,
conclude
with
a
gaurantee,
that
the
Wine
is
warranted
to
turn
out
as
represented,
and
that
the
cash,
with
all
expenses,
will
be
returned,
if
it
does
not
prove
to
do
so;
though,
be
it
ob-
served,
the
seller
cunningly
manages
to
retain
the
nine
points
of
law
in
his
own
favour,
(namely,
possession
of
the
cashj
leaving
only
the
poor
remaining
one
to
the
purchaser,
the
value
of
which,
he
may
probably
have
to
estimate
to
his
cost.
The
many
quibbles,
by
which
this
bargain
is
afterwards
evaded,
alone
forcibly
illustrates
the
notorious
remark
once
made
by
an
individual be-
longing
to
this
famous
class
of
advertisers,
'
That
a
customer
once,
forms
the
extent
of
their
ex-
pectations
;'
or,
in
other
words,
*
That
the
first
application
of a
person
to
purchase
Wine
of
them,
is
by
their
address
;
that
a
second
visit,
from
the
same
party,
and
for
a
similar
purpose,
is
by
good
luck
!'
From
the
'flattering
tale*
