“I do not know if coffee and sugar are essential to the
happiness of Europe, but I do know well that these two
products have accounted for the unhappiness of two great
regions of the world: America has been depopulated so as to
have land on which to plant them; Africa has been
depopulated so as to have the people to cultivate them.”
- from Volume 1 of J.H. Bernardin de Saint Pierre’s Voyage to the Isle de
France, Isle de Bourbon, The Cape of Good Hope… (1773)
