be tranfplanted to the Rhine, which however is not altogether fo ime 
probable as you are apt to imagine ; for a Gentleman who carried fome 
of the Whitfour with him into Germany, (and, as I have before faid, 
no one can fay which of the two exceeds) aflured me, that when he had 
much celebrated the Glories of his Cyder, a German, whofe Expecta- 
tions of this extraordinary Liquor were much raifed when he had tafted 
it, cried out, He found nothing in it, for it was only like theiv Rhenith. 
AND thus much for the Royal Wilding. 1 am now to let you 
know as much as I my felf do of its omy Rival the W hitfour, (or 
Whitefour, {pell it as you pleafe) of which, however, you will find I

of our County, tho’ we now begin to promote them as faft as we think 
we have got Royal Wildings enow. 
AS far as I can learn they have been long in the South-Ham, but
