It is under the head of ' Nicols' Voyage.' Nicols lived eight years in the islands. The island of Teneriffe produces three sorts of wine, Canary, Malvasia, and Verdona, ' which may all go under the denomination...

Aubigny produces a delicate red wine, and Montsaugcon a red wine which keeps well for forty years, though of a very delicate quality. "It is useless here to particularize every variety of wine produced in Champagne. Some classes are too meagre to attract the attention of foreigners, while others will not bear exportation.
