Were they all influenced by the same honest, bold, and disinterested motives as the ill-fated Accum, who has been offered a vindictive sacrifice on the altar of trading cupidity and fraud. Every honest man must allow that _the expatriation of that gentleman is a disgrace to the country which he has adorned and benefited by his talents, and ought to be deplored as a loss to the real interests of science and humanity_. FOOTNOTES: [A] Mr. Accum, in his valuable book, enumerates, among the ingredients for giving the deeper or purple colour to wine, brazil-wood; but that ingenious gentleman is in error in this respect; for brazil-wood, as is well known to every practical chemist, has the property of imparting a blue colour to port wine, which is not quite the complexion that the wine-manufacturer wishes to give his spurious commodity. [B] The introduction of this deleterious ingredient into wines is to stop the progress of their ascescency, or to recover ropy wines, or to clarify and render transparent spoiled or muddy white wines. As to the deleterious effects and dangerous consequences of this and other adulterations of wines, &c. see The Oracle of Health and Long Life; or, Plain Rules for the Attainment and Preservation of Sound Health and Vigorous Old Age. By Medicus. [C] Direct Madeira is that which has been shipped direct from the island of Madeira, without having the benefit, as it is termed, of a voyage to the East or West Indies. [D] East-India or West-India Cape is that portion of Cape wines which has had the benefit of a voyage from the Cape of Good Hope to the East Indies, and thence back to London. Cape Sherry is that portion of Cape wine which bears the greatest resemblance in flavour to real Sherry. Cape Madeira is so denominated from its resemblance, in point of flavour, to Madeira. Cape Burgundy, Cape Hock, Cape Sauterne, Cape Port, Cape Pontac, Cape Champagne, Cape Barsac, &c. owe their appellations to their supposed resemblance, in point of flavour, to those wines.
