In three years, from room. 1788 to 1791, England imported no less than even million hundredweights of sugar from the West Indies. The rapid growth of the popularity of rice, another novelty of the time, is seen by compar ing a cookery-book printed in 1734 with one printed at the end of the century; in the Erst there is not a single recipe for the preparation of rice; in the second there are twenty-two.
These changes, had large consequences in politics and commerce. Every student of our earlier history is struck by the immense importance of spices in the commerce of Europe. Modern nations contend for raw materials or for mur. kets: their nacestors contended for the territories that produced pepper, ginger, cloves, cinnamon. There were few vege- | tables for the table; food and drink were monotonous, and the rich were eager for condiments to give favour and variety to rather tastelera dishes. The “ Young Cook's Moniter," published in 1683, gave
a recipe for a cod's hend; the cod's bead spat fourpence, the condiments nine shil lings. The merchants who could supply these condiments made fortunes; Venice grew rich on the carrying trade" in pepper, the Dutch on their control of the Spice. Islands. The revolution of diet changed the commercial values of different parts of the world and different kinds of trade. The Spice Islands and India changed places. The poor con- sumer began to count as well as the rich. When India began to send rice and tea to Europe on 'large scale Asia, which had always hitherto supplied luxuries to Europe, began to supply something that was used by the mass of people and not merely by the rich few, Popular habits began to influence commerce, which had formerly served the taste of "the small class that could afford to buy spices and silks.
Commerce thus assumed a new char. acter and range: in demanded more capital, larger ships. greater harbours. And this expansion led to the next large change in the world's economy, the in, troduction of mass production. Yon could not produce for mass consumption so long as commerce found its rewards exclusively in the exchange of luxuries. Thus the new habita of the table, the new taste for tea, coffen, sugar, the use of the fruits and products of America nod the Indico, Enst and West, were all part of the revolution by which modern Lancashire took the place of medieval Venice in the commercial life of the world.
