1764WRCAM54454ALondon: Printed by Mark Baskett.and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett 1764. 2275-299pp. Folio. Loose gatherings stab holes at gutter margins. Near fine. An outstanding copy of the rare official Parliamentary printing for the "Grenville Budget" of 1764 accompanied by three later acts amending regulations set forth. This budget act contains the so-called "Sugar Act" which was the first deliberate and direct attempt to tax the American colonies in order to pay for the British military presence in North America. <br> <br> The Sugar Act levied a tax of three pence per gallon on the importation of foreign molasses molasses from the British West Indies would be exempt from the tax. But the proposed legislation did far more than tax sugar products. It also detailed more foreign goods to be taxed including certain wines coffee pimiento cambric and printed calico and further regulated the export of lumber and iron. The enforced tax on molasses caused the almost immediate decline in the rum industry in the colonies. <br> <br> The final part of the title of the Act was Grenville's response to the British Customs Board's estimate that the annual revenue from American customs was a paltry £1800. Grenville whose guiding principles were strict adherence to legality and financial solvency found this state of affairs to be intolerable. Existing trade regulations designed to raise greater revenue would be more rigidly enforced with incentives offered to naval officers and customs officials. <br> <br> This Budget Act of 1764 set the tone for many of the British policies and measures that followed. A chain of events was set in motion which would lead step by step to the American Revolution. Reaction in the colonies was not long in coming. In Massachusetts James Otis and Samuel Adams fired pamphlets at it; the merchants of Boston banded together to protest; other colonial writers from Newport to Williamsburg added their voices; in England Thomas Pownall and others defended the step. All understood that a new era had dawned with the so-called Sugar Act. <br> <br> The present copy is accompanied by three further scarce acts of Parliament related to the statutes set forth by the Sugar Act. The first from 1765 alters the duties imposed on sugar imports. The other two from 1777 and 1779 made amendments to address penalties for smuggling sugar from America into Great Britain during the Revolution. They are as follows: <br> <br> 1 AN ACT FOR MORE EFFECTUALLY SECURING AND ENCOURAGING THE TRADE OF HIS MAJESTY'S AMERICAN DOMINIONS.FOR ALTERING THE BOUNTIES AND DRAWBACKS UPON SUGAR EXPORTED. caption title.

First and only edition, [2], 30pp., stitched as issued in blue paper wrappers, a very good copy. The author argues against putting an additional duty on sugar "which... would be a great hardship on the sugar-planter in the West Indies, and very little benefit to the revenue...". He sets out all the costs involved in producing sugar, such as the price of slaves and the cost of keeping them, the higher freight costs, insurance, cost of animals and contributions to the defence force. Finally, he states the advantages of the sugar trade for Britain and shows how an additional duty would be to the detriment of the trade.

ONE: Henry Hough overseer of the Bounty Hall estate Jamaica to ‘William Fairclough / Green Park’: Autograph Letter Signed. 22 The eighteen documents in this collection provide an interesting insight into the dealings of a substantial West Indian merchant: the owner of the extensive Jamaican sugar and rum plantation Green Park slave owner and slave trader. Green Park Estate was one of the largest and oldest sugar plantations in Trelawny Parish Jamaica dating back to a grant of land from Oliver Cromwell to James Bradshaw son of the regicide John Bradshaw. It was bequeathed to William Atherton the principal party in the present documents by William Kennion per his will of 1764. Atherton extended the estate to around over 1300 acres building a fortress and a second sugar mill so that it ranked as the third largest of the 88 estates in Trelawny Parish. The first item is a letter written from the overseer of a neighbouring estate Bounty Hall regarding the settling of a bill. In the next three items we see Atherton purchasing silver lace from a London tradesman and settling other bills through his bank Glynn’s. The last fourteen item centre on the New York firm of merchants Lewis Simond & Co who arrange the transportation of wood for the construction of casks for the rum produced at Green Park Item Five provides a current account between the firm and the Green Park Estate. Despite the fact that Atherton is estimated to have owned around eight hundred slaves in the last item we see him quibbling over eighteen cents. November 1777 Bounty Hall. Docketed: ‘Bounty Hall 22d.
