[MACAULAY (Zachary).]
East and West India Sugar: or, a Refutation of the Claims of the West India Colonists to a Protecting Duty on West India Sugar.
BY ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY
This work was published in the same year that Macaulay and T. F. Buxton formed the Anti-Slavery Society. It is considered one “of the best presentations of the East Indian case in the equalization controversy. The West Indian claims and allegations are considered one by one” (Ragatz).
This copy has excellent provenance, formerly belonging to Holland House which was essentially the headquarters for nineteenth-century whigs.
