Excerpt from Report on the Cheap Wines: From France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Greece, Hungary, and Australia: Their Use in Diet and Medicine
Throughout my book I have kept constantly in view the difference between pure wine and distilled spirit, and have shown how the addition of the latter to wine affects the sense of touch, and deranges the true sense of taste, all over the gustatory apparatus and beyond. From personal experience, I say that the hot, strong, so-called Sherries supplied at many hotels, and used in many families, are disgraceful to those who sell and dangerous to those who drink them. I do not join in the sensational outcry about drawing-room alco holism; but say, as a simple fact, that Sherries are often given to women which are too strong to be safe.

Excerpt from Report on the Cheap Wines: From France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Greece, Hungary, and Australia: Their Use in Diet and Medicine
This is meant for a second edition of a "Report on Cheap Wines" which originally appeared as a series of articles in the Medical Times and Gazette in 1863 and 1864, and was published in a collected form in 1865. At that time rivers of strange wines were coming in from all parts of the world, and both the medical profession and the public wanted to know what they were good for. My little book seemed to give satisfactory information on that point; anyhow, it sold furiously and was soon out of print. Scarce a day has passed since in which it has not been asked for at Mr. Renshaw's, and it has brought me the flattering approval of men of letters, physicians, diplomatists, and œnologues. Daily occupations of an absorbing kind and wretched health have prevented me hitherto from revising the book, but I have never lost sight of the subject, and now at last have plucked up heart to make a second edition.
In this not much, of the original work remains.
