Very rare complete copy of an account of the diplomatic mission of Baron Gros to Japan in 1858 by the diplomat  Charles de Chassiron. The Notes are almost a literal transcription of the journal Chassiron kept during the trip. His account is important for the history of Franco-Japanese relations and gives an eyewitness report.

Good copy, with manuscript dedication in ink by the author to Mr. Engelmann, dated Paris, January 26, 1862.- (Small tears in map of Yeddo and last plate; loose in binding).
Cordier, Japonica, 549; Cordier, Sinica 2494; Numa Broc, Asie, 89-90.
