SOUTH-HAMS, (Devon) a number of villages on the back of Torbay, famous for that noble rough cyder, which is generally
preferred to the soft, sickly Hereford redstreak; and so near wine in taste, that it has tempted some vintners and coopers
in London, as well as in other cities and Ts. to mix it with their Port wines. The soil here being a reddish sand,
produces also the best cabbages in England, and carrots not inferior to those of Sandwich. Great part of these Hams bel.
to the Champernons.
