How Cyder may be made to prevent , in a very 
great Degree , the Importation of Foreign IVines 
into Great- Britain, and all the King's Dominions. 
— Sir Jonas Moor adds, that this Sort of im- 
proved fyrupy Cyder may be made to be fold 
at Two-pence or Three-pence a Quart, and 
that if Plantations of Cyder Apple-Trees, and 
of Goofeberries and Currants between them, 
were made according to his Directions, it would 
not only very much prevent the Importation 
and Confumption of Foreign Wines, but bring 
in a Revenue to the Crown of fix or eight hun- 
dred thousand Pounds a Year, by a Duty laid 
on fuch his Cyder, that, he fays, will be as 
itrong, or ftromger than the beft French Wines, 
and altogether as pleafing, though it be fome- 
what different in Tafte; by which it will come 
into fuch general Efteem, as to prevent fending 
our TreaTure abroad, to Climates vaftly diffe- 
rent from ours, for Wines brewed again with 
Variety of unknown, and perhaps dangerous 
Ingredients. 
To this I anfwer, and have to obferve, that 
what Sir Jonas Moor fays as to the Improve- 
ment of Lands, by planting more Orchards, 
and thereby can ling Cyder to come fo much in- 
to Effeem and Ufe, as to prevent, in a very 
great Degree, the Importation and Confumption 
of Foreign Wines, and bringing in a large Re- 
venue to the Crown, in my humble Opinion, 
appears to be very true 5 but I dare prefume to 
fgy, this may be done in a much cheaper, 
whole-
