Unbound as issued. 3 1 blank p. <p><br /> The first formal document acknowledging fears of La Pérouse's disappearance in a rare provincial printing issued shortly after the royal decree.<br /> <p><p><br /> Very rare Dijon printing of the first formal decree acknowledging concern over the disappearance of La Pérouse's expedition. This decree issued by the Assemblée Nationale and promulgated in the name of Louis XVI on 25 February 1791 initiated the official search for La Boussole and L'Astrolabe last heard from in 1788 following their departure from Botany Bay. It instructed France's ambassadors consuls and agents abroad to solicit assistance from foreign powers and navigators-especially in the southern Pacific-"de faire toutes recherches des deux frégates Françoises La Boussole & L'Astrolabe. de même que toute perquisition qui pourroit constater leur existence ou naufrage."<br /> <p><p><br /> The decree also called for the arming of one or more vessels carrying scientists naturalists and artists tasked with both locating La Pérouse and conducting a broader exploratory mission "utile & avantageuse à la navigation à la géographie au commerce aux arts & aux sciences." This ultimately led to the voyage of Rear Admiral Bruni d'Entrecasteaux 1791-1794.<br /> <p><p><br /> La Pérouse's expedition 1785-88 commissioned by Louis XVI and modelled in part on the voyages of Cook was the most ambitious French maritime expedition of the Enlightenment. Departing from Brest in August 1785 the two frigates visited South America including Chile Easter Island Alaska California Macao the Philippines and Australia Botany Bay sending reports and scientific observations until their disappearance after March 1788. Their fate remained a mystery until the wreckage was found decades later on Vanikoro Island.<br /> <p><p><br /> The Dijon edition printed by Capel and officially certified by the departmental administration is part of a coordinated provincial dissemination of the decree alongside other issues printed in Pau Orléans Grenoble Valenciennes Auxerre and Évreux.<br /> <p><p><br /> References: cf.

17913649Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1791. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. Untrimmed. Paper tanned. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. 18 2 blank p. <p><br /> Official report on the 1786 “Commission de Tabago†an extraordinary tribunal established to examine debts between British creditors and settlers after the French conquest of the island.<br /> <p><p><br /> First edition of the National Assembly’s official report on the controversial “Commission de Tabago†an extraordinary tribunal established in 1786 under the ancien régime to review debts between British capitalists and settlers after the French conquest of Tobago.<br /> <p><p><br /> The report reconstructs the background of the island’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 inhabitants’ 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 commission—presided by the governor and ordonnateur—confiscated titles annulled or reduced debts and declared most English claims void provoking losses estimated at over 13 million livres.<br /> <p><p><br /> 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 island’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 recommends—and the Assembly accepted—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.<br /> <p><p><br /> An important Revolutionary document reflecting early attempts to reconcile French constitutional principles with colonial administration and international treaty obligations.<br /> <p><p><br /> Not in Sabin.
