quantity of juice, the specific gravity of it has considerably 

 exceeded the arithmetical mean. The tough and spungy 

 pulp of one variety, by alternately absorbing and discharg- 

 ing the juice under the roller, may mechanically promote 

 the absorption of air and the generation of saccharine mat- 

 ter ; one variety may also afford an ingredient which others 

 may want; and as the saccharine matter, under the preced- 

 ing circumstances, is apparently generated whilst life still 

 lingers in the fragments of the pulp, it is impossible to calcu- 

 late the action of this busy agent; whose effects are every 

 instant within our view, but with whose means of operating 

 we must ever remain in total ignorance. 



The Red Must is probably a native of Herefordshire, in 

 the deep soils of which County the trees acquired a much 

 greater magnitude than is common to the species. Philips 

 has erroneously written " Musk 



The Musks surpassing worth."
