Vlll PREFACE 



up to date. I hasten to express my acknowledgments 

 to all these authors. 1 



The Sugar Cane, now called The International 

 Sugar Journal, published at Altrincham, 2 is the best 

 English vade-mecum for technical matters and general 

 news connected with sugar. The West India Committee 

 Circular is also well worth reading, full of interesting 

 news and good pictures. The Journal des Fabricants de 

 Sucre, the Paris organ of the French industry, has been 

 one of my constant companions ever since its birth 

 in 1860. It is a mine of accurate information on all 

 matters connected with the world's sugar industry. 

 From America we get the Louisiana Planter, the 

 A merican Sugar Industry and Beet Sugar Gazette, 3 

 Willett and Gray's Weekly Statistical Sugar Trade 

 Journal, and other useful guides to knowledge. There 

 are also German and Austrian sugar journals of a first- 

 class character for those who can read the language. 

 The inquiring student, when he has read and digested 

 the larger works which I have mentioned, can therefore 

 keep up his knowledge from week to week by reading 

 the journals of the day. If this little popular treatise 

 succeeds in impelling him to further study I shall not 

 have laboured in vain.
