24 cm, 1489 pages total, 2-vol. set. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. DJ's worn and soiled:,small tears and small pieces missing. Benjamin Moran (b. Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1820 - d.

Buchanan was elected President and George M. Dallas became Ambassador in London, where Moran stayed.

They dramatically altered the tone of the magazine and its circulation declined substantially. It was sold in January 1861, by which time Abraham Lincoln had taken over. In 1875, he was made Minister Resident to Portugal and, since this was the first instance of this kind of promotion in US diplomatic history, some regard him as the first American career diplomat. When the office of Minister Resident was discontinued in 1876, Moran was made Chargé d'Affaires at Lisbon, serving until 1882.…
