Summary:

"Laborie offered to share his expertise for the benefit of his British counterparts in Jamaica. Laborie's work was a very important one to describe the cultivation of coffee in Saint Domingue before 1789. In the 22 engraved plates one can see the machinery used to grind and extract the coffee beans, then highly coveted in Great Britain's coffee houses. One can also see the backbreaking work involved in order to produce the high yields of beans given in the tables contained within the volume. This work is invaluable for any commercial study of the coffee industry in the French or British colonial West Indies. The appendix provides rare details about the British occupied zone during the revolution." Remember Haiti. http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/John_Carter_Brown_Library/remember_haiti/env_laborie.php
