Stapled, green covers. 32pp. A text concerning maritime smuggling from the port of Nice. As President of the Maritime Magistrate (or the Commercial Consulate) since 1822, and President of the Senate of Nice, the Count de Cessole recognised the importance of the free port in maintaining the balance of local economic life.
