Comment Attributed to "E. Soniat du Fossat" or "Mrs. E. Soniat du Fossat" or "Mrs. Eugene Soniat du Fossat": but the basis for the attribution is not clear. (The WorldCat attribution to Elve Anna Bowie Moore Soniat [1842-1911] is obviously wrong.) The author of this political work displays a classical education such as few if any women of Louisiana would have had.

This edition has been verified by examining the copy in the library with the shelfmark noted above.
