APHORISMS UPON The New Way of Improving CYDER OR MAKING CYDER-ROYAL LATELY DISCOVERED For the Good of those Kingdoms and Nations That are Beholden to Others and Pay Dear for WINE SHEWING That Simple Cyder frequently Sold for Thirty Shillings per Hogshead viz. Three-half-pence a Quart may be made as Strong Wholesom and pleasing as French Wine usually Sold for Twelve-pence a Quart Without Adding any thing to it but what is of the Juice of Apples And for One Penny or Three-half-pence a Quart more Charge may be made as good as Canary commonly Sold for two Shillings As also how one Acre of Land now worth Twenty Shillings may be made worth Eight or Ten Pound per Annum To which are Added Certain Expedients concerning RAISING and PLANTING OF Apple-trees Gooseberry-trees c. With Respect to Cheapness Expedition certain Growing and Fruitfulness beyond what hath hitherto been yet made known By RICHARD HAINES LONDON Printed by George Larkin for the Author and are to be had at the Marine and Carolina Coffee-House in Burching Lane near the Royal Exchange Until our Royal-Cyder-Office be Erected for Granting of Licenses of which we shall give a further Account shortly 1684. THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY TO ALL Kings Princes States Who have No Wines of their own Production ESPECIALLY To the most Sacred Majesty OF HIS SOVERAIGN LORD THE King of Great Britain c. AS ALSO To their most Excellent Majesties the Kings of the two Northern Crowns And to the High and Mighty Lords the States General of the United Provinces May it please Your Majesties and Lordships FOod Drink and Rayment are the prime Requisites of Humane Life Of Drinks the Juice of the Grape is esteemed the most Generous But since Providence has not Indulged every Nation with That of its own Growth and for that tho' the more Southern Countrys Enjoy it yet the more Northern that are without it do by the Coldness of their Climate most stand in need of strong Drinks And since Ale and Beer is too Cloudy and heavy and to furnish themselves with Wine they exhaust yearly a great part of their Treasure and Native Commodities I thought if I could find out and inform that part of the World how to prepare a sort of Liquor which might Answer all the Ends and Advantages of Wine and yet be of Your own Countries Production and afforded much Cheaper I might Deserve well of Your Majesties and Lordships and all Your Subjects both now and to Posterity That which nearest approaches the Nature of Wine is the Juice of Apples Wildings Pears and other Fruits commonly called Cyder Perry Currant Cherry and Gooseberry-Wine c. And with all or some of these Your respective Territories are or may be plentifully Furnisht The Defect hitherto has been First That few have applyed themselves to making of Cyder Secondly Much fewer are Those that know how to make even tollerable common simple Cyder Thirdly Their Cyder who made it Best Falls short of the Goodness of Wine in strength and Delicacy and besides by reason of its Coldness and Crudities was apt to Generate Wind and other Distempers and so proved not so wholsome to the Body For all these Inconveniences Here is found a proper and certain Remedy The SECRET is brought home to Your Doors and in the Following Papers spread before You So that hencefoth after a little Industry You need not for General use be beholden to any Forreiner for their Wines but Furnish Your selves as well and abundantly Cheaper at Home and Drink for Your own Healhs without Despising the Discoverer in Variety of Liquors of Your own Production altogether as good and Satisfactory How this Overture may be Resented I am not Prophet enough to fore-see The Incredulity of our King Henry the Seventh tho justly numbred amongst the wisest Monarchs of that Age is reported by some Authors to have cost him the Immense loss of the West-Indian Treasures which have since Enricht all the Kings Princes and States of Europe And even Ferdinand of Castile was beholding to the Importunities of his Lady Isabella for accepting that proffer'd Prize and the Discovery of that New World from a despised Columbus And however this Present thing or my self may be Censur'd or Contemn'd at first yet without the least doubt I believe that a time will come wherein all or most of the Kings Princes and States or at least their Subjects in those Nations that have no Wines of their own may have Cause to Rejoice either in the Use or Advantage which themselves may make thereof And that too without Raising any Burthensome Taxes or putting their Subjects to heavy Charges For as it must undoubtedly be of great Profit to all Nations that are unfurnisht with Wine of their own Production especially those whose Soil will afford the Materials In which respect I forget not the Kingdom of Poland to whom I made my Endeavours to transmit my Proposals but by reason of the remote distance and small Entercourse from hence thither I could not gain an Opportunity However I cannot but Recommend it as a thing of great Moment to that Renouned King and Nation their Countrey being as proper for it as any in the World so as for Climates which yield not Fruits Necessary they will yet however Fare much the better too since less VVines being spent in those Nations that used to take off the greatest Quantities viz. two or three Millions worth of Wines and Brandy's per Annum The French c. must then be necessiated to force a Trade by selling them much Cheaper than ever they would have done were it not for this Discovery Vpon the whole matter as Your most Excellent Majesties and Your renowned Lordships have by Your several Letters Patents Contracts and Resolutions given me Assurances of a Proportionate Reward and Encouragement If upon the Discovery the thing should prove Feazible and be Accepted or Suffered to be practised in Your several Dominions so Relying upon Your Royal and Honourable VVords than which nothing here below can be more Sacred to Your Justice Wisdom and Goodness I Humbly referr my self and these my well-intended Endeavours Remaining To Your Majesty my dread Soveraign a most Humble Loyal and Faithfully Devoted Subject And to you the other most Excellent Kings and Honourable Lords A most Humble And Ready Servant To my Power Richard Haines AN ADVERTISEMENT TO ALL LOYAL SUBJECTS IN HIS Majesties Kingdom of England AND Principality of Wales VVHereas our Soveraign Lord the King hath been Graciously Pleased by his Royal Letters Patent to give and grant unto Me and Partners the sole Use and Benefit of my Invention in the ensuing Treatise Discovered With all the Profits and Advantages that may can or shall be made thereof With prohibition to all others from doing or imitating the same within all His Majesties Dominions For and during the Term of Fourteen Years And forasmuch as such our Invention may be very desirable useful and beneficial to all or most
