Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Cultivation of the Sugar Cane, and the Manufacture of Sugar The experiment of immigration has been tried to a certain extent, and I cannot think it has at all realized the expectations of those persons who have made the trial, The expense of it has been very great, and the benefits derived from it have been not at all commensurate. It may be objected, that the success of the scheme could not be fairly tested because tried on so very limited a scale; but I think it a hazardous experiment to invest so much capital as would be required to carry out a measure, the success of which is doubtful. And, besides, we do not perceive that in those places where the native population is most ahunu dant, as in Barbados, they have been much better off, than in those Colonies where labour has been comparatively scarce. There has been nearly as much complaint of distress and ruin from the Planters of that densely populated island, as from other Colonies much more thinly peopled.
