From the Red and White Constantia is made the 

 famous Constantia Wine, so called from a place 

 near the Cape of Good Hope. 



My worthy friend, Colonel Paters on *, informs 

 me, that this vine, when transplanted to but a 

 small distance from that spot, produces a very in- 

 ferior wine. In his Narrative he says, ** Constantia 

 produces excellent wine, though the situation is 

 rather low. It is, however, preferable to all other 

 parts of this district ; not only because it is rather 

 more elevated ; but on account of the nature of 

 the soil, which is a light sandy loam." 



* This gentleman is well known in the Literary World, by 

 his Narrative of four Journies into the country of the Hotten- 

 tots, and Catlraria ; whence he sent a great many new Plants 

 and Seeds to England. He also brouglit home with him some 

 curious skins, and good drawings of many plantS; animals, &c,
