Letters From Mauritius In The Eighteenth Century is a historical book written by Charles Grant Vaux and published in 1886. The book is a collection of letters written by various people who lived in Mauritius during the 18th century. The letters provide a unique insight into the daily lives of the people who lived on the island during this time. The book is divided into different sections, each of which covers a different aspect of life on Mauritius during the 18th century. The first section covers the early history of the island, including its discovery by the Portuguese and its subsequent colonization by the Dutch. The second section focuses on the French period, during which Mauritius became an important trading center for the French East India Company. The third section of the book covers the British period, during which Mauritius was taken over by the British and became a British colony. The letters in this section provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the British colonizers and the native people of the island. The final section of the book covers the abolition of slavery on Mauritius and the subsequent transition to a free labor system. The letters in this section provide a detailed account of the struggles and challenges faced by the newly freed slaves as they tried to build new lives for themselves. Overall, Letters From Mauritius In The Eighteenth Century is a valuable historical resource that provides a unique perspective on life on Mauritius during the 18th century.
