Description:
Coloured map of the wrorld illustrating why slavery is poor economics. The paragraph underneath explains the colour coding of the map. The section shaded yellow is the appropriate climate for the growing of sugar. The section shaded red is the area from which Britain may obtain sugar cheaply (parts of South America and the West Indies under British rule). The blue section shows where Britain is unable to obtain sugar due to the devastating effects of the slave trade. The pink and green areas are those from which the sugar trade is limited by high duties and restrictions. The argument is that the duties and restrictions are there to protect the slave trade and ultimately damage the British economy. At the bottom is printed: 'Published by J. Cross, 13 Holborn, also sold by Hatchard & Son Piccadilly, J & A Arch, Cornhill, & Seeley & Son, Fleet Street, London.
