199, [1 blank] pp. Disbound. English and French on facing pages, may lack the French title page. Good+. Probably the copy of the Louisiana diplomat, lawyer, and Senator John Slidell, signed 'Jn Slidell' at the head of the title. With Index and Titles of Acts. Slidell was the Confederacy's ambassador to France during the Civil War. With James Mason, he set sail for Europe on the British ship Trent, but was intercepted and captured by an American warship.
