Candid and Impartial Considerations on the Nature of the Sugar Trade is a book written by John Campbell in 1763. The book is an analysis of the sugar trade, particularly in relation to the British colonies in the West Indies. Campbell was a Scottish physician and writer who had lived in Jamaica for several years, and his experience and observations informed his writing.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the sugar trade, including its history, production methods, and economic significance. The second part focuses on the conditions of the enslaved people who worked on the sugar plantations, and the brutal treatment they endured. Campbell describes the inhumane practices of the slave trade, including the separation of families and the use of torture as a means of punishment.In the third part of the book, Campbell discusses the political and economic implications of the sugar trade. He argues that the trade was not only immoral but also economically unsustainable, and that the British government should take steps to abolish slavery and promote alternative industries in the colonies.Overall, Candid and Impartial Considerations on the Nature of the Sugar Trade is a powerful critique of the sugar trade and the slave system that supported it. Campbell's book was influential in the abolitionist movement and helped to raise awareness of the atrocities committed in the name of profit.The Comparative Importance Of The British And French Islands In The West Indies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
