First Edition, [ii],46pp., title and last leaf a little dusty, disbound. "The quality of sugar formed no just basis for taxation. Such a system was inexpedient because it would encourage the production of low-grade product, particularly in the newly conquered colonies which were capable of supplying an almost unlimited quantity of the superior article. It would be impossible to grade sugars properly into the several classes according to which they would be taxed in the proposal under consideration. There would be much fraud to secure the benefit of low rates. Completely side-steps the great fact that it was not equitable to exact the same duty as formerly when sugar had declined to one-third of its one-time value."?Ragatz, p.281.

1935xiv, 308 pages. "Blackbirding was full of horrors, of brutalities, of tragedies as was the African slave-trade - and fuller of romance, of heroism, and of self-sacrifice. It was not on such a great scale as the negro slave-trade, nor did it last so long, yet the Queensland slave-trade, which almost depopulated whole islands in the New Hebrides and in the Solomons, was only part of the Pacific slave-trade which may be included under the general term of blackbirding." - from Preface. Author's surname pencilled atop front free endpaper, presumably not by him. Moderate foxing to edges and prelims. Spine slant. Binding intact. Average wear. A worthy reference copy of this important reference. Book
