History informs us that Sugar Cane was cultivated and the juice used as food in Arabia and China in the beginning of the Christian Era, and that it first found its way into Europe from China, the East Indies and Arabia; the raw juice of the Cane and Syrup made therefrom being the only form in which it was then used; Sugar cane thus introduced to Sicily, was from thence planted by the Portuguese on the island of Ma deira and there attained great perfection; the plant was soon afterwards introduced to and cultivated in the West Indies.
