Commonly
distinguished
by
the
name
of,
Direct
Madeira;
on
account
of
its
being
shipped
direct
from
the
Island
of
Madeira
to
this
country,
with-
out
the
benefit
of
a
voyage,
to
the
West
or
East
Indies.
A
very
little,
however,
that
is
sold
by
our
cheap
advertisers
and
placarders
as
Madeira,
possesses
any
part
of
it,
in
the
composition,
which
they
dispose
of
under
its
title.
The
best
manu-
facture
of
a
fictitious
resemblance
of
the
real
Wine,
is
said to
consist,
of
a
combination
of
cheap
Vidonia,
with
a
proportion
of
about
one
twentieth
part
of
common
dry
Port,
one
tenth
part
Moun-
tain,
and
about
a
fifth
part
Cape,
the
whole
being
mixed
together.
This
compound,
when
properly
fined,
is
considered
excellent
;
and,
with
that
modest
assurance,
which
distinguishes
the
whole
tribe
of
advertisers,
is
sold
under
the
denomination
of
c
Old
London
Particular?
or,
any
other
appellation,
by
which
'
they
choose
to
designate
it,
with
the
greatest
success
;
which
is
aided,
in
no
trifling
de-
gree,
by
the curious
circumstance,
of
their
prices
being
twenty
per
cent,
less,
and
their
profits
ten
per
cent,
greater,
than
the
more
scrupulous
Wine
Merchant,
who
does
not
attempt
to
adulterate.
It
will
be
necessary
only
shortly
to
notice
the
VIDONIA
WINES,
As
they
are
termed,
which
are
brought
from
the
