De la Culture, de la Canne, et de la Fabrication du Sucre a 

 l'Ile de la Reunion. Par M. Malavois. Paris : J. Louvier. 



A well-written and intelligent treatise on sugar cultivation, as practised 

 in Bourbon or Reunion, by a colonist of thirty years' experience, who 

 has seen the products of his labour and industry doubled by scientific 

 culture and improved processes of manufacture. A translation of this 

 brochure — from the systematic manner in which the subject is treated — would 

 even prove useful in many of our own sugar-producing colonies.
