A HISTORY OF THE RISE, PROGRESS, AND PRESENT STATE OF THE MANUFACTURE OF BEET-ROOT SUGAR IN FRANCE. Compiled and translated from the Works of M. Dubrunfaut and others. WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE MANGEL WURZEL, OR CATTLE BEET, IN GREAT BRITAIN. BY SAMUEL TAYLOR, JUN. CHAP. XIX. The Adaptation of this Manufacture to Great Britain. The British farmer will perceive, from the previous statements, that this is no air-built speculation, no vision of the imagination; but, for the most part, a plain narrative of what has occurred, and what does actually occur every year in upwards of one hundred sugar-making establishments at this time in operation on the other side the channel. From these one hundred manufactories were obtained last year, five thousand tons of brown sugar, worth in the market £60 per ton, making a total of £300,000, and such is the spread of improvement, and the expected increase in the number of such establishments, that a much larger produce may be calculated on in future. From all that has been said, there certainly appears every inducement to make the experiment in England; and though I hold it to be unsafe to trust too much to analogy in practical agriculture, yet I see no just cause why, if the making of sugar succeeds best, as it is found to do in the north of France, or NEW SERIES, vol. 1, no.
