years, and of the useful and extensive results to be deduced 
from the cultivation of the vine for this purpose in Britain. 
But, on the propriety of forming vineyards generally on 
English estates, we adopt Dr. Henderson’s sensible conclu¬ 
sions : that, as long as foreign wines can be obtained at mo¬ 
derate prices, little advantage can accrue from the attempt to 
supplant the use of them by the produce of English grapes, 
as of all crops, that of the vine is the most precarious, and, 
even in some of the French provinces, does little more than 
repay the expense of cultivation.
