VINE. 
To enter into a detailed account of the manner 
of cultivating the vine would fill a volume ; we 
shall therefore merely remark, that it succeeds best 
between the fortieth and fiftieth degree of latitude, 
within which space we find all those vineyards 
whose produce has been so highly extolled. France 
has long been famed for producing this plant in its 
greatest perfection ; and it is well known that most 
of our finest wines are imported from that country.
