While consul, Bigelow wrote See also:Les Etats-Unis d'Amerique en 1863 in See also:- ORDER

order to counteract the apparent See also:desire of the See also:French See also:people for a See also:dissolution of the American Union, by showing them the relative importance of the See also:commerce of the See also:northern and See also:southern states. On discovering in 1863 that a French shipbuilder, with the connivance of See also:Napoleon III., was constructing two formidable See also:iron-clads and two corvettes for the use of the Confederacy, he devoted his energies to thwarting this See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme, and succeeded in preventing the delivery of all but one of these vessels to the Confederate agents. In his work entitled France and the Confederate See also:Navy (New York, 1888) he gives an See also:account of this See also:episode. In 1865–1866, it devolved upon Bigelow, as minister to France, to represent his See also:government in its delicate negotiations concerning the French occupation of See also:Mexico, and he discharged this difficult task with See also:credit. From 1875 to 1877 he served as secretary of See also:state of New York. He wrote books of travel, of popular See also:biography, or of See also:historical or See also:political discussion, &c., from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time to time; but his See also:principal See also:literary achievements were See also:editions, between 1868 and 1888, of See also:Franklin's autobiography and autobiographical writings, copiously annotated; and of the See also:complete See also:works of Franklin, in ten See also:octavo volumes (New York, 1887–1889). These editions were based in See also:part upon the editor's See also:personal investigations of See also:manuscript See also:sources in France and elsewhere, and sup-planted the well-known, See also:long serviceable, but less accurate edition of Jared See also:Sparks (See also:Boston, 1836–184o); they have in turn been supplanted by the edition of A. H. Smythe (to vols., 1905–1907). Mr Bigelow was a See also:close friend of See also:Samuel J. See also:Tilden, and became his literary executor, editing his speeches and other political writings (1885), See also:publishing a biography in 1895, and editing a two-See also:volume collection of Tilden's letters and literary memorials (1908). He also wrote a biography of William Cullen Bryant (1890). In 1897 he published a volume entitled The See also:Mystery of See also:Sleep (2nd ed., 1903). In 1909 he published Retrospections of an Active See also:Life.
