of the French wines.
We have now given a sketch of the constit–
uents, production, division, varieties, propor–
tion, and management of foreign wines; and
we can only express our regret, when we are
compelled to acknowledge that a pure foreign
wine is seldom-we had almost said never–
seen in this country, the large proportion of
wines being diluted and adulterated before
leaving foreign ports. Our object in the next
article, "On the Imitation of Foreign "\Vines,"
will be to show you the inethods inade use of,
and instruct you in all the arts and inysteries
of that "secret of the trade" which has, and
will continue to enrich, all those who are so
fortunate as to acquire, and practice upon, the
information spread out upon these pages. Be
careful to use the different ingredients pre–
cisely as laid down in the formulm, the smallest
excess oftentimes injuring the whole.
