The 1888 1st edition of this important, early history of France's involvement in the Civil War, specifically its attempt to destabilize the Federal government by throwing its weight behind the Confederacy and its Navy. A solid, very well-preserved copy. Tight and VG+ in its olive-green cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the spine. Light wear at the spine crown, very light scuffing to the rear panel, 2 neat former owner names at the front free endpaper. 12mo, 247 pgs. plus a thorough list of "recent" titles pubished by Harper & Brothers.
