Official report on the 1786 â€œCommission de Tabagoâ€ an extraordinary tribunal established to examine debts between British creditors and settlers after the French conquest of the island. First edition of the National Assemblyâ€™s official report on the controversial â€œCommission de Tabagoâ€ an extraordinary tribunal established in 1786 under the ancien rÃ©gime to review debts between British capitalists and settlers after the French conquest of Tobago. The report reconstructs the background of the islandâ€™s transfer: originally ceded to Britain in 1763 Tobago had been largely settled and financed by British investors who lent capital for the development of sugar estates secured by mortgages. Following the French conquest 1781 and definitive cession Treaty of Paris 1783 the treaty guaranteed the inhabitantsâ€™ property rights under English law. Nevertheless in 1786 the Conseil du Roi created a special commission at Tobago to investigate alleged usury and excessive interest rates in these mortgage contracts. The commissionâ€”presided by the governor and ordonnateurâ€”confiscated titles annulled or reduced debts and declared most English claims void provoking losses estimated at over 13 million livres. This Rapport examines the legality of the tribunal under both French and English law concluding that it was arbitrary unconstitutional and in violation of the 1783 peace treaty. The committees show that English statutes were misquoted that the islandâ€™s existing courts Common Pleas and Chancery already had proper jurisdiction and that no disputes existed before the commission was imposed. The report also denounces the suppression of trial by jury and the disregard of due process. It recommendsâ€”and the Assembly acceptedâ€”that the entire commission and its judgments be annulled thereby restoring lawful jurisdiction in the colony. The episode marked one of the last acts of French administration on Tobago which was recaptured by Britain in April 1793 returned to France in 1802 under the Treaty of Amiens and formally surrendered under the Treaty of Paris in 1814. An important Revolutionary document reflecting early attempts to reconcile French constitutional principles with colonial administration and international treaty obligations. Not in Sabin.

[Belgian Trade Catalogue] L&H Cambier FreresBiblio.com

Meubles & Sièges L & H. C. F. Cover title

18803068Ath Belgium: L.&H. Cambier Frères n.d. ca. 1880 . Rare profusely illustrated trade catalogue from the late 19th century depicting furniture made by L.&H. Cambier Frères of Ath Belgium. The catalogue consists of 107 lithographed plates depicting a wide variety of chairs sofas tables desks beds and more including children's furniture. Plates 108-122 contain decorative borders but no other illustrations presumably so items could be added when Cambier Frères introduced new furniture designs. Apparently it was fine to add items to the catalogue but buyers were advised not to cut out the drawings. "Ne découpez pas les dessins indiquez-nous simplement le numéro de l'objet" it says at the bottom of each plate. Plates 31-33 depict chairs very similar in style to those designed by the German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet. In fact chair No. 14 on plate 31 is exactly the same as Thonet's iconic No. 14 bistro chair. There's no date given for the catalogue but we estimate ca. 1880 based on the style of furniture. That's also when the brothers Léon and Henri Cambier expanded the Ath factory that their father Emmanuel had founded in 1835. This catalogue is rare with OCLC showing a single institutional holding at the University of Leeds. None in commerce. A wonderful look at European furniture of the late 19th century with numerous detailed illustrations by Breger & Javal Paris. RARE. PHYSICAL DETAILS: Oblong Small Quarto 9.75 x 7 inches; 250 x 178 mm 2 122 pages in original red cloth decorated and lettered in gilt. CONDITION: Small water stain to front cover slight flaring of upper board rubbing and fraying to spine and board edges offsetting to end papers light toning to page extremities. About Very Good.
