REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY.
COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is
the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British
Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and
invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory
spirit.
The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy,
and the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many
Persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may
be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex-
pect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to
avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy
trade as an importer. lie holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy,
pale and brown, in this country, and, he accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of his numerous friends, he hag taken out a
Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of
it in quantities or two gallons upwards, duty paid. lie pledgeas im-
s
self to sell none but the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine
ported, and carefully selected.
To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be
satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the so 1 and fla-
grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac. from the coarse, ardent,
and frequently adulterated sirit unt no impose on the public, he
with reliance onil theirw judgmend t in favour of the
recommends a trial,

Successful results have our efforts obtained,
And a host of new patrons already we've gained,
As such is the case, we acknowledge to all
Our gratitude deep for their kind-hearted call.

Where talent, first rate, is developed in action ;

And adds to the lustre of Hyam's great trade.

Whilst splendour and cheapness together unite
And praises are lavished by thousands who flock
To see Hyam's wonders and gaze on his stock.

The favour, the kindness, the aid of a visit.
