Map and 14 black and white photographic illustrations, xi+240 pages, appendices, 19.3 x 13.2 cms; original pictorial tangerine cloth covered boards (a little dusty), couple of small previous owners' signatures on front free endpaper, a very good copy. Extraordinary account of the horrors of opium addiction by Ellen Newbold La Motte (1873 - 1961) an American nurse, journalist and author and one of the first American war nurses to go to Europe and treat soldiers in World War I. After the war, she turned her diary into a book, The Backwash of War (1916), containing fourteen vignettes of typical scenes. The truth she told was unpalatable; the book was suppressed and not republished until 1934. After the war, La Motte travelled to Asia, where she witnessed the horrors of opium addiction. These travels provided her with material for six books, three of them explicitly dealing with the opium problem: Peking Dust (1919), Civilization: Tales of the Orient (1919), Opium Monopoly (1920), Ethics of Opium (1922), Snuffs and Butters (1925) and Opium in Geneva: Or How The Opium Problem is Handled by the League of Nations (1929). The Chinese Nationalist government awarded her the Lin Tse Hsu Memorial Medal in 1930.

Original o primera edición
Five vols. Tall 8vo. [40; 44; 48; 42; 34 pp.]. With 1 double-page colour woodblock map, 18 double-page woodblocks (7 w/ colour), 1 single-page woodblock plate. Uniformly bound in textured embossed pattern limp softcovers, manuscript titles, punch-sewn at gutter margins (wear, soiling, some worming through fore-edges, text in portions, thumbing to fore-edges, soiling, lower 2/3 of front title leaf stating "Forbidden from Sale" torn away), still a G- reference set, of this noted rarity. First edition of the author's "second series" recounting further events in the First Opium War fought between Great Britain and China in 1839-1842. The text and illustrations vividly stressed the terrible effects of opium on Qing Dynasty China, and the brave Chinese resisting the British military. Buttressed with striking illustrations by Utagawa Sadahide (1807-1879/79?) which depict such incidents as Chinese fire-boats approaching a British warship; a captured spy; Chenshi the Monk putting up a valiant fight; a Chinese Woman warrior fighting the British; a Taiwanese fort sinking a British Warship; the fall of Zhenhai; French diplomatic ships arriving on the Yangtze, and even an omen appearing in the heavens. In addition, there are a number of woodblock prints depicting British cannons, mortars, and firearms employed during the Opium Wars. The Kaigai Shinwa printed on Mino paper, was written in a sensationalistic and simple style with Japanese syllabaries attached to all Chinese characters, and intended as a cautionary tale advising Japan and other Asian countries of the pitfalls of foreign invaders and intervention, just four years before the appearance of Perry's squadron in Tokyo Bay. Mineta Fuko (1817-1883) was thrown into prison for having published the work without official consent, and later after he was released was deprived of the right to live in Edo, Kyoto, or Osaka -- the santo kamae (tri-urban banishment), and many of the volumes were seized, and others were censored or removed.
