Mémoire pour les négocians de la province de Guienne, sur l'établissement des paquebots & sur la taxe des lettres, fixée par l'arrêt du Conseil, du 20 décembre 1786, qui n'a été connu à Bordeaux que le 10 mars 1787. (Paperback)

A detailed memorial concerning the establishment of packet boats and the tax on letters, this document addresses the merchants of the province of Guienne following the Council decree of December 20, 1786. The decree, unknown in Bordeaux until March 10, 1787, prompted this response from G. Dubois, highlighting the concerns and perspectives of the merchants regarding these new regulations. This historical document offers insights into the economic and administrative challenges of late 18th-century France, providing valuable context for understanding the intersection of commerce, law, and governance during this period.
