Note 14 — AND ADVANTAGES WHICH THEY CAN YIELD TO HIS MAJESTY CARLOS III
Reading edition
Although it is folly to make such a proposition, I ask whether there are not in España,14 all America, the Philipinas Islands, and, in short, all the so various domains of his Majesty, counting all these together, four millions of persons who drink chocolate sixty-four times in the year, in accordance with the rule of one onza for each time. Even the most ignorant or malicious person will not deny my proposition; this makes, then, the consumption of chocolate sixteen millions of libras, and for making it there will be needed four hundred thousand libras of cinnamon.
