The European Commission of the Danube or in French Commission Européenne du Danube the CED is one of the Commissions of the Danube River authorized by the Treaty of Paris 1856 after the close of the Crimean War. The CED had authority over the three mouths of the river - the Chilia in the north the Sulina in the middle and St. George in the south which was originally designed to last for only two years. Instead it lasted eighty-two years. A separate commission the International Danube Commission or IDC was authorized to control commerce and improvements upriver beyond the Danube Delta and was supposed to be permanent but it was not formally organized until after 1918.

180190455Paris: Sans nom d'éditeur 1801. Fine. Sans nom d'éditeur Paris s. d. 1801 19.3 x 25 cm Relié Rare group of six fascicules all in the original edition.Bradel-style binding in green mottled boards smooth unlettered spine printed title label mounted at the centre of the upper cover; modern binding.Not recorded by Polak. Apparently no copy located in the CCFr.A stain at the head of the title page.This curious compilation bearing almost no identifying information appears to be particularly rare.It contains:- 1. A notice to mariners concerning the change in the lighting of the lighthouse in the Bay of the Somme scheduled for 25 Pluviôse Year IX 14 February 1801.- 2. An instruction on filters for purifying water signed by the health officers Dubrueil Thaumur Dupré and Billard.- 3. A notice on naval provisions signed by Rivoire.- 4. A description of the sillomètre an instrument for measuring longitude at sea addressed to the editor of the Moniteur by the former journalist Charles Mozard 17551810 who had served as Commissioner of Frances commercial relations in Boston from 1794 to 1799 and was at that time among the contributors to the Moniteur.- 5. A discourse by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre delivered at the Institut Nautical experiments and dietary and moral observations proposed for the benefit and health of sailors on long-distance voyages. This contribution had already been printed in La Décade philosophique littéraire et politique of 30 Vendémiaire Year IX 22 October 1800.- 6. Two practical notices on means of preserving ships from fire water and rats. The nature of these texts and their immediate sources suggest that this publication was probably conceived as a trial maritime periodical intended to make available sea-related articles previously published in other journals. For reasons unknown the experiment was not continued a circumstance that is fairly common in the history of periodicals. Sans nom d'éditeur hardcover

Writer botanist great traveler in his early life political thinker Bernardin de Saint-Pierre achieved fame with his Etudes de la nature and Paul et Virginie a fable about the fall and misfortunes of virtue a poetic narrative whose protagonists' deaths establish a new theodicy regarding death and providence. It should be added that the Voyage à L'île de France is undoubtedly one of the journeys not only among the best written but also among the most finely observed. Beyond this the anecdotes about Rousseau are of the greatest appeal and the essay on the philosopher of great interest; Bernardin de Saint-Pierre was not only Jean-Jacques Rousseau's friend but his principal disciple.
