1863WRCAM32357Richmond: R.M. Smith 1863. 123pp. Gathered signatures stitched. Minor spotting and dust soiling. Near fine unopened. A lengthy volume of correspondence between Gen. Mansfield Lovell and the War Office in Richmond regarding New Orleans' defenses. Upon his resignation as deputy street commissioner of New York City Lovell was made a major general in the Confederate army charged with the defense of New Orleans. His constant want of arms and men is borne out in the present correspondence as is his desire to keep the transmissions as secret as possible. His material insufficiencies compelled him to evacuate the city nearly guaranteeing Union control of the Mississippi. A Confederate board of inquiry judged him responsible for the loss and he was barred from any further major command. Important background to one of the most important Union victories of the war.

Mansfield's scientific orientation is notable in the perspective & approach displayed in this work where he devotes much thought & consideration to motive & powered aerial navigation as then current LTA efforts were subject to the whims of nature as they had been for the most part ever since Montgolfier. This publication along with all of his other works though written in the early 1850s was issued posthumously Mansfield having died prematurely at the young age of 36 from burns suffered during a laboratory accident. The DNB describes this title as "one of the most striking and suggestive works on its subject." MacMillan & Co hardcover books
