The manufacture of sugar is now one ol the largest bran' hes of human industry, but this great development is ol comparatively ncent date, and' although the are evidences of its very high antiquity in India and China, sugar appears to hare been but vaguely known to the Greeks and Romans. 1‘s introduction into Eur- ope appears to have been one of the results ot the crusades.

The manufacture of - made but slow progress, for its doarness limit- ed ita use to the wealthy.
