in-8, pp. VI, 404, leg. m. marocchino, piatti in percallina, titolo in oro su dorso a nervi. Raro ed interessante trattato, uno dei primi a considerare il Bacino del Pacifico come distinta entità geopolitica e commerciale, con una lunga trattazione sull'importanza della California identificata quale punto focale di questa regione emergente. L'autore fu diplomatico francese di stanza in Messico e Colombia che, rimproverando aspramente alla Francia le perdute opportunità, previde un periodo di egemonia e di potere americano. Lo studio raccoglie interessanti informazioni sull' Oregon, la California e il Texas, tratta inoltre delle prime esplorazioni, gli insediamenti ad Astoria, le guerre indiane, la scoperta dell'oro, i pionieri, la vita e l'economia della California. Vi sono poi capitoli di analisi sulle prospettive politiche ed economiche di: Messico, Colombia, America Centrale, Isole Sandwich, Giappone, Cina e Russia, con un interessante appendice di trattati internazionali a supporto della trattazione. Buon esemplare.. .
