Text in French. <br/><br/>In the Preface Casaux describes his credentials on the subject of growing sugarcane: born in France in 1727 he migrated to the then-French island of Grenada in 1757; he remained there and took English citizenship after the Treaty of Paris ceded the island to the British in 1763 serving George III as Deputy for the French population of the colony until his return to Europe in 1777. He joined the Royal Society there in 1780 and was also a member of the Academy of Agriculture in Florence. During his years in the Caribbean he interested himself in the cultivation of sugarcane; he became especially concerned with methods forÂ producing the same amount of sugar with many fewer â€œNegresâ€ and â€œtreating them more gently.â€ Casaux additionally writes of methods to produce quality sugar from inferior grades of cane and maintaining equal quantity and quality of sugar from â€œexhaustedâ€ plots of land. Casaux leaves no aspect of growing cane and extracting the sugar untouched; much can be learned about colonial plantation practices regarding not only sugar but agriculture in general. He includes a history of sugar and discusses â€œnewâ€ species of cane hybrids formed from crossbreeding; he also includes a table of rainfall for Grenada for the year 1773 and advises the use of such tables â€œto be kept by public appointment for the improvement of agricultureâ€ elsewhere. Casaux was an influential thinker on subjects other than agriculture including politics economics and social issues and was a member of the Jacobin Club; after Mirabeauâ€™s death in 1792 he moved from France to London and died there in 1796.Â Chez Clousier, unknown books
