( £ut this is not to be depended on, for the difficulties and uncertainty to which the 

 trade of that place is naturally expofed ; the labour of beating to windward againft 

 the breeze, and current ; and the diftance or inconvenience of thofe ports already ap- 

 pointed for the entrance and clearance of "(hips ; oblige the mailers (efpecially thofe 

 that take in their loading in remote parts,) to make ufe of the firlr and moft conve- 

 nient opportunity of making an uncertain report, and obtaining a clearance, which 

 frequently happens before the veflel is a quarter loaded. This put me under a ne- 

 ceflity of enquiring in England, where the principal part of the produce of all our 

 Colonies is imported : and the ingenious Mr. Maitland (a) has been kind enough to 

 fupply me with the following accounts to the year 5 r, as they were lately laid be- 

 fore the Houfe of Commons, by the refpeftive officers, viz. 



The quantities of fugar imported into England and Scotland refpeclively, from the 



Ifland of Jamaica ; and into England from all the Illands ; for four and twenty 



years, ending in December ij$\ : to which is added, a fchedule of the fugars ex- 



orted from Jamaica to Nortfrslmerica^Tov the nine Jaft years, ending in Novem*
