Of agricultural labour in the torrid zone, and the pernicious effects of its excess when forcibly exacted; 3. The high probability that the amount of forced labour on sugar plantations is oppressively and destructively excessive, deduced from the natural tendency of the system, and confirmed by the decline of population among the predial slaves; 4.
