Description:

Pp. i-xv 1-302, 1-49 and 1-13. Disbound, removed from a larger volume of Appendix to the Journals of the California Legislature. With separate title-pages for the Report of the Special Committee, Address to the People of the United States Upon the Evils of Chinese Immigration, Memorial to the Congress of the United States, Proceedings of the Commission, with Testimony Taken and Statistics Submitted, Policy and Means of Exclusion, Report of Senator McCoppin of Committee on Chinese, and individual speeches by H.N. Clement (San Francisco attorney) on “The Conflict of Races in California: ‘Caucasian vs. Mongolian’”, and Oakland Judge John H. Boalt [for whom UC Berkeley’s Law School is named), on “The Chinese Question.”  

An extended racist political diatribe, reflecting rabid anti-Chinese sentiment in California at the height of influence of San Francisco labor leader Denis Kearney and his “Workingman’s Party”. 

Disbound; very good.
