First and only edition, [2], 30pp., stitched as issued in blue paper wrappers, a very good copy. The author argues against putting an additional duty on sugar "which... would be a great hardship on the sugar-planter in the West Indies, and very little benefit to the revenue...". He sets out all the costs involved in producing sugar, such as the price of slaves and the cost of keeping them, the higher freight costs, insurance, cost of animals and contributions to the defence force. Finally, he states the advantages of the sugar trade for Britain and shows how an additional duty would be to the detriment of the trade.

1779Dans ce numéro, les nouvelles de Londres sont consacrées à la guerre d'Amérique. La Gazette reproduit une requête des planteurs de sucre, propriétaire et négocians présenté au Roi le 16 décembre « au commencement de la malheureuse division entre ce Royaume & les Colonies de l'Amérique septentrionale, les Requerans, (…) représentèrent aux Ministres de V. M. les craintes qu'ils avaient des dangers et des malheurs auxquels les isles à sucre seraient nécessairement exposées (...)ils ont aujourd'hui sujet de regretter, par la perte de la Dominique et par le danger imminent des autres isles, que leurs fréquentes démarches pour obtenir de la protection n'ont pas eu l'effet désiré ; qu'ils sont à présent dans l'état le plus cruel d'incertitude, par le délai du secours envoyé de New-York aux Isles sous le Vent (…) tandis que la Jamaïque a été laissée presque absolument à ses propres efforts,lesquels, vu le petit nombre d'habitans Blancs, sont devenus extrèmement fatiguans » P. 87, une communication du chimiste et futur ministre de l'Intérieur Jacques Antoine Mourgue livre les résultats des Observations météorologiques, agronomiques & physiques, faites à Montpellier & dans les environs, pendant l'année 1778.
