Dooner, P.W. LAST DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC. BLEILER TITLE. San Francisco: Alta California Publishing House, 1880. First edition. An early, perhaps first, "yellow peril novel" by an American. Chinese laborers take over the United States and the Imperial Dragon flag is raised over the Capitol. 5 full-page lithograph illustrations by G. F. Keller. A nice copy with the gilt pictorial front panel of a Buddha-like figure sitting in front of the Capitol. Red cloth. Spine lettering just a touch faded, otherwise fine with the barest wear on corners and spine ends. Unusual in such nice shape. Bleiler page 62.
