Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Seward and the Declaration of Paris: A Forgotten Diplomatic Episode, April-August, 1861
In the course of a somewhat elaborate historical study my attention has recently been drawn to an altogether forgotten diplomatic episode which occurred in that stage of initial crystallization, and to it I propose to devote this paper. As an incident in a most critical period, what I have to describe will, I think, prove not without interest; and, at the time, it was, as I now view it, of a possible importance appreciated neither then nor since.
