Thus, according to the known analyses of chemists, black tea contains less gallic acid and tannin than green tea ; nay, the latter alone contains theime, an alkaloid, which the black tea is probably deprived of solely by the infusion with the hot steam.
361 ÆäÀÌÁö - It has long been the opinion that the use of tobacco, as well as its culture, was peculiar to the people of America ; but this is now proved to be incorrect, by our present more exact acquaintance with China and India. The consumption of tobacco in the Chinese empire is of immense extent, and the practice seems to be of great antiquity, for on very old sculptures I have observed the very saine tobacco-pipes which are still used.

Besides, we now know the plant which furnishes the Chinese tobacco ; it is even said to grow wild in the East Indies. It is certain that this tobacco plant of Eastern Asia is quite different from the American species. The genus Nicotiana, generally speaking, belongs to the warmer zones, yet a few species of it have a very extensive area and a great power of resisting the influence of...
