The amount of B. given in this country during the late war, sometimes rose as high as $900. In England, the sum has varied very much from time to time according to the difficulty of obtaining recruits. At the present time a recruit in that country receives a B. of $5, and a free kit. -The system of large B. is a great temptation to soldiers to desert after receiving them, and enlist again in other regiments (usually called bounty - jumping ), and most thinking men consider that a higher rate of pay would have a better effect than B. (Com.) B. , in English commerce and the arts, is a premium paid by the government to the producers, exporters, or importers of certain articles, or to those who employ ships in certain trades, whence the profits resulting from these respective branches of industry are alleged to be insufficient. Bounties on production are generally given with the view of encouraging the establishment of some new branch of industry, or of fostering and extending a branch that is believed to be of paramount importance. B. on exportation and importation are granted in England, as in France, to the exporters of certain commodities on their taking oath, or in some cases giving bond, not to re-land the same in England or in France respectively. Public opinion was formerly much divided as to the advantage of granting bounties; but, at present, the impolicy of such a practice appears to be almost universally admitted.

[Fr.] The name given to the aroma of wine, due to the presence of certain fragrant ethers, especially of enanthic, pelargonic, and acetic ether, formed during the fermentation, or subsequent storing, of the wine. It is to the increased quantity of such fragrant ether that the superior bouquet of many old wines is due.
