the wine trade, a term used by the wine coopers for the fining down wines, and rendering them fit for immediate draught. The principal inconvenience of the common way of fining down the white wines with isinglass, and the red with whites of eggs, is the slowness of the operation; these ingredients not performing their office in less than a week, or sometimes a fortnight, according as the weather proves favourable, cloudy or clear, windy or calm: this appears to be matter of constant observation. But the wine merchant frequently requires a method that shall, with certainty, make the wines fit for taffing in a few hours. A method of this kind there is, but it is kept in a few hands a valuable secret. Perhaps it depends upon a prudent use of a tartarized spirit of wine, and the common forcing, as occasion is, along with gypsum, as the principal; all which are to be well stirred about in the wine, for half an hour before it is suffered to rest.

**Fordoun**, John of, the father of Scottish history, flourished in the reign of Alexander III., towards the end of the 13th century. But of his life there is nothing known with certainty, though there was not a monastery that possessed not copies of his work. The first five books of the history which bears his name were written by him; the rest were fabricated from materials left by him, and from new collections by different persons. A manuscript in vellum of this historian is in the library of the university of Edinburgh.

**Fordwich**, a town of Kent, called in Domesday Book "the little borough of Fordwich," is a member of the port of Sandwich, and was anciently incorporated by the style of the barons of the town of Fordwich, but more lately by the name of the mayor, jurats, and commonalty, who enjoy the same privileges as the cinque ports. This place is famous for excellent trouts in its river Stour.
