Having continuously and practically, for nearly thirty years past, given my attention to the study of Wine, (during which period I have, as a careful and keen observer, resided in, or visited almost every country where the vine is grown or its produce consumed, thus embracing each phase from the grape to the decanter, and with an intimate knowledge of every market,) I submit for your perusal in a great measure the result of my own personal experience."
