" Those who have seen the ' Peeps at Many Lands ' series from the 

 same publishers will welcome these boolcs, which ought to become quite 

 as popular. They will give 'general knowledge' in non-technical lan- 

 guage by those who have first-hand experience of the matters upon 

 which they write. If they succeed in casting such a spell upon the 

 reader as this book before us, as it throws a world of interest into the 

 realities of sugar-cane and sugar-beet growing, sugar-making and 

 refining processes, they will be read through at a sitting." — Western 

 Morning News. 



" This is the first volume of a series to be called ' Peeps at Industries," 

 and if the succeeding volumes come up to the standard of the first of 

 the series, will bring the reader into a complete understanding of all the 

 great industries of the British Empire and the world at large. Tech- 

 nicalities being avoided, there are no impedimenta in the way of easy 

 assimilation of the story and the romance of great manufactures. It 

 is concisely written, and will make its own appeal to those who have 

 fcouomic or other interests in the great sugar ptobXem."— Morning Post. 



" An excellent book. It gives many pleasing glimpses down strange 

 vistas, and impresses once more upon the unthinking citizen that he has 

 many things to be thankful for in the unseen services of men and 

 women who labour for his comfort in all climates and under ail con- 

 ditions Teachers will find these books as useful as the general reader 

 will find them entertainmg."— i?n/»CTy of Reviews. 



' " Miss Browne's book ... is so clearly written, so understandable 

 by the individual of average intelligence, that there is no longer any ex- 

 cuse for ignorance. Every confectioner should read it. Its educa- 

 tional value cannot be too highly praised." — The Confectioners' Union. 



" British Guiana and the West Indies are particularly indebted to 

 the author for her beautiful and accurate descriptions." — Barbadoes 

 Advocate.
