as much real ftrength as two pounds of Vir- 

 ginia; and I doubt not but that near double 

 the quantity of falts might be extracted from 

 it by a chymical procefs. 



Good tobacco, the produce of the north- 

 ern colonies, is powerful, aromatic, and 

 has a moft pleafing flavour. The fumes of 

 it are invigorating to the head, and leave not 

 that naufea on the ftomach that the common 

 fort does. As much time would be required 

 to fmoke one pipe of it, as three of that 

 which is generally ufed : before fo great a 

 quantity of the vapour could be drawn from 

 it as to prove hurtful, the fmoker, from in- 

 toxication, would be unable to continue his 

 amufement. I can truly fay, after a refi- 

 dence of feveral years in England, that I 

 never met with any tobacco, though I fre- 

 quently fmoke, that in ftrength or the deli- 

 cacy of its flavour, is to be compared with 

 that which I have been accuftorned to in 

 New-England.
