Bosanquet argues that there was a great surplus production of sugar, the amount for the current year being estimated at no less than 85,000 hogsheads. Relief could be afforded by forbidding the distillation of corn and substituting sugar for it, by abandoning the British monopoly on island production and permitting the colonists to dispose of their crops where they could, and by repealing the existing heavy duties. Charles Bosanquet (1769-1850) was a London merchant and governor of the South Sea Company. * H. Ling Roth, A guide to the literature of sugar, 1890. Keywords :- West Indies, sugar Price - £125 |
