the Cyde r-C ask: Or the Benefits 
and Mifchiefs attending the keeping 
Cyder , and other delicate Liquors 5 
in good or had Casks . 
C YDER is allowed, by the mod experi- 
enced Cyderids, to be the niced of all 
vinous Liquors whatfoever for being preferved 
in Calks clear of all Taint ; therefore, if a Vef- 
fel is not entirely clean, fweet, and free from 
all manner of Impurity, the Cyder will affured- 
ly receive Damage in a leffer or greater Degree. 
This being a fundamental Article, I have 
thought it necefiary to explain it in the moll 
particular Manner I am capable of. Accord- 
ingly I (hall give my Reader its Account in a 
more extenfive, and I hope, in a more fatisfadtory 
Manner, than any Author has hitherto done. 
And, for this Purpofe, I fhall begin withinfert- 
ing a Copy of what my Devonffire Correfpon- 
dent has wrote me, as follows, viz . 
The Southams excellent Method of preparing 
their Cyder -Cajks , different from all Ways hither- 
to publifhed . — On this (fays my Devonfhire Cor- 
refpondent) depends very much the Preferva- 
tion of their Cyder the longed Time $ for if 
you put this Liquor into an improper Cafk, 
you mud not expect to. enjoy it in Perfection.
