The Real Bearings Of The West India Question: As Expounded By The Most Intelligent And Independent Free-Trader Of The Day is a book written by Matthew James Higgins in 1848. The book explores the West India Question, which was a political and economic issue that arose in the 19th century regarding the British colonies in the West Indies and their relationship with Britain.Higgins, who was considered one of the most intelligent and independent free-traders of his time, offers his perspective on the West India Question and provides insights into the economic and political implications of the issue. He argues that the West Indies should be allowed to trade freely with other countries, rather than being restricted to trading solely with Britain.Throughout the book, Higgins presents a detailed analysis of the West India trade and the impact it had on the British economy. He also discusses the social and humanitarian issues surrounding the West Indies, including slavery and the treatment of the local population.Overall, The Real Bearings Of The West India Question provides a comprehensive examination of a significant political and economic issue of the time, and offers valuable insights into the perspectives of free-traders in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
