2 Mr. Rogers testifies also to the increasing consumption of sugar in his remarks upon the greater quantities, as compared with the earlier era in which it was bought at the end of the seventeenth century. "The growing cheapness of sugar, " he says, "is further illustrated by the quantities, now much larger, by which it is bought. In the earlier times rich people bought it by the pound, or at most by the loaf, a loaf of sugar being a favorite present to a distinguished personage. Even such an o...pulent person as Lord Spencer buys stocks of sugar by the loaf, though on two occasions, 1613, 1614, the weight of twenty loaves bought is given. In 1664 it is first bought (and without the designation of loaves), by the hundredweight at eighty-four shillings. It is again purchased in the same manner in i679. " 3 "There is no doubt, " he declares, "that as the supply of sugar was increased the demand for the produce was increased also. Tea and chocolate and coffee became in the last forty years of the century common and favorite bev- erages, and the use of sugar to sweeten them was as general as the consumption was.
