Various Notices* 
are finally exposed to the sun, after v/hich nothing can improve 
them more than a voyage. 
“ Immense quantities of most excellent barilla, pot-ash, and 
pearl-ash, chiefly the produce of Aficant, Valentia, Murcia, and 
part of Grenada, are annually exported from Spain ; there is no 
country in the world whence these articles are to be met with in 
greater perfection than in this. 
The oranges and lemons of Spain are of a very excellent 
kind, and large quantities are annually exported from the different 
ports of that country for England and Ireland ; from September 
till January is the properest time for shipping these fruits ; it is 
dangerous to speculate in the articles at other seasons. 
Spain likewise produces some oil, which is seldom exported, 
and is often used as a substitute for butter ; hemp, which is grown 
in Grenada, Murcia, and Valentia ; senna, which has been preferred 
to that of the Levant ; tobacco of the finest quality ; and wool, 
whose excellent quality is too well known to need any comment. 
The fruits of Portugal, which are esteemed by foreigners, 
consist of figs, grown in tJie kingdom of Algarva exclusively, and 
which are said to be superior to those gf Spain and Barbary ; al- 
monds far inferior to those of Spain (which are indeed excellent, 
especially such as are shipped from Valentia); oranges and le- 
mons, more noted for their quantity than their quality ; and some 
wool's.’'
