England takes twelve millions. A deep rich soil is the most proper 

 for the cultivation of it at the root of the mountains, when the soil 

 is irrigated and drenched by the waters which flow down from them, 

 in the first rains that fall in October. A baccillo of tolerably good 

 land will give, communibus annis, 1000 weight of currants ; the 

 poorer land, not yielding so much ; the richer land more. Different 

 attempts have been made at Corfou and Sta. Maura to introduce this 

 grape ; but such is the delicacy of it, that it will not succeed. It is 

 eaten at the table, and makes a rich sweet wine.
