"Grog' from 1761

[Joel S. Berson]

In addition to the 1749 and 1760 instances of "grog" turned up by
Pail Baines, I am informed by its editor that "grog' appears in
Smollett's 1761 "Sir Launcelot Greaves", and can be found on page 239
of the edition edited by Robert Folkenflik (Univ. of Georgia Press, 2002).
