In Governors also, Lying is pardonable, when it has a Tendency, either to promote the Good of their Subjects, or frustrate the Designs of their Enemies." Some affirm, that Ale, prepared with the _Chamelæagnus_, excites violent Head-achs, from which they infer, that its Sulphur is injurious to the Head: But I would have such Persons remember, that the best Things may be used to Excess. Thus a Pain is immediately produced in the Head, by the Abuse of the Wine of the _Rubus Idæus_, or that in which the _Pimpinella Sanguisorba_ has been macerated. Hence, if you mix but a small Quantity of the _Chamelæagnus_, full of its Seeds, with Ale, such Ale will speedily intoxicate those who drink it; but if you put only a few of the Leaves to the Ale, it will revive the Spirits as effectually as the _Asiatic Tea_. At the _Hague_, _Sinapi_ is called _Senney_, and in the _Netherlands_, _Mustard_; but this Change of Names does not hinder _Sinapi_ from being an Herb of the same Species in these different Parts. In _Europe_ we are to have a due Regard to the most commodious Time of gathering the Leaves of the _Chamelæagnus_, which, in _Asia_, is the _Spring_, and after they are gathered, we are carefully to keep them in large, close-stopped Vessels. Besides, we are to consider, that the Climates of _Asia_ and _Europe_ differ very widely; though I have shewn, that from the same Elevation of the Pole, some _Northern_ Countries have a Climate, not much unlike to that of the _Tartars_. But some may say, granting that the _Chamelæagnus_, or _Myrtus Nostras Sylvestris_, is really the _Cha_ of the _Tartars_, and the _The_ of the _Chinese_ and _Persians_; yet it never arrives at such Perfection in any Part of _Europe_, as in _Tartary_ or _China_: This, perhaps, I may grant, with respect to _China_, but not with respect to _Tartary_, for the Reasons before specified, and on account of the Climate, which, it is to be suspected, produces _Tea_ of little or no Value; for it is not so much as mentioned in the following Account of the _Tartars_, and their Herbs, given by _Antonius Maginus_, in _Comment. Nov. Geograph_. "The _Tartars_ live in a most sordid, nasty Manner; since only a very few of them use Table-Cloths and Napkins at their Meals: They drink Water, Milk, and Ale prepared of Millet. Very little Wine is produced in their Country; and with that which is imported they intoxicate themselves, which is with them considered as an honourable and glorious Thing. They commend the Juice or Milk of Sorrel, because it corroborates the Stomach, and proves purgative at the same Time. They chearfully eat various Herbs, especially such as grow near the _Tanais_, among which they greatly extol an Herb called _Baltracan_, which greatly nourishes them, and restores their Strength. At the Season, therefore, when this Herb bears Fruit, the _Tartars_ freely wander through these Desarts, in which no other Kind of Food or Aliment
