The European free burghers, men, women, and children, were less than two thousand. The slaves, of the i 77 Company and burghers jointly, numbered rather more. These were principally from Madagascar, and had been for the most part supplied by English slave-dealers, who are men- tioned as being more expert in this traffic than other Eu- ropeans. One of the earliest of these traders in human flesii bore the same name with the philanthropist John Howard. * It may raise a blush to record that in fav...our of slave mer- chants an exemption to the stringent monopoly which excluded all foreign ships from commercial privileges was made. The wealth of the colonists consisted, besides these slaves, in 130, 000 sheep and 20, 000 head of cattle of all descriptions. The cultivation of the land yielded in 1 7 1 0, about sixty years after the foundation of the colony, about 1200 leaguers of wine, 20, 000 muids of wheat, 1200 muids of rye, and the same quantity of barley. J The sale of these products, after the deduction of the tithe of all the earth yielded, which was the Government due, and of the colonial consumption was, as has been before stated, allowed to the company's authorities only, at fixed prices, which are in many petitions and protests complained of as ruinously unremunenitive to the farmer.
