THE LAST AMERICAN: A FRAGMENT FROM THE JOURNAL OF KHAN-LI PRINCE OF DIMPH-YOO-CHUR AND ADMIRAL IN THE PERSIAN NAVY EDITED BY J. A. MITCHELL
New York: Frederick A. Stokes & Brother 1889. Octavo pp. 1-7 8-78 79-80: blank note: last leaf is a blank the illustrations uncredited in this edition are by Mitchell original pictorial dark blue cloth front panel stamped in black white and gold. First edition. Mitchell's third book preceded by a work of nonfiction and THE ROMANCE OF THE MOON 1886 a children's fantasy. THE LAST AMERICAN is a short clever inversion of the lost race tale just then gaining popularity the lost race in this case being the Mehrikan people. We see America through the eyes of an admiral in the Persian navy about 1100 years in the future as an exploring party wanders through the ruins of New York City and Washington D. C. where the detachment encounters and kills the three last Americans. Mitchell's point aside from amusement seems to be the danger of unrestricted immigration which he indicates was the basic cause of America's downfall in the late twentieth century. Ultimately American civilization is destroyed by a catastrophic change of climate and this satire is significant as being one of the earliest SF stories to utilize the catastrophe motif.

Mitchell Samuel Augustus
A New Universal Atlas Containing Maps of the various Empires Kingdoms State and Republics of the World. With a Special Map of each of the United States Plans of Cities &c.
Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell 1849 Folio. 17 3/8 x 14 inches. Lithographed title with large vignette letterpress "Table of Contents" and 73 hand-colored lithographed maps charts and city plans. Three-quarter red morocco over marbled boards large red morocco title label on front cover elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt. Spine and corners renewed in red leather. Boards rubbed and scuffed at edges. Maps in fine condition. Overall a fine copy. A very nice copy of this very scarce atlas with hand-colored maps of all the individual States and Territories and including the rare and famous map of "Oregon Upper California & New Mexico" showing the large yellow-colored area in California labeled "Gold Region." The Atlas concentrates on the American continent with 43 maps of the area including a fine double-page coast-to-coast map of the United States. Samuel Augustus Mitchell and his sons were the leading publishers of maps in the United States during most of the nineteenth century. A New American Atlas published in 1831 was Mitchell's first work. In 1846 he published his first edition of the present work. He continued to publish the Atlas until 1850 when he sold the copyright to Cowperthwait & Co. It was with this 1849 edition that "New Mexico" was added to the title of the map as well as the words "Gold Region" added in a large yellow area in "Upper or New California." As Wheat states "We find S. Augustus Mitchell in Philadelphia publishing in 1849 a revised version of his Texas Oregon and California map taking advantage of Fr�mont's later work and displaying a large colored Gold Region." Also many routes are shown by red hand-colored lines including Fr�mont's routes. Wheat: Mapping the Transmississippi West: 630 p.284; text p.82; not noted in Wheat's Maps of the Gold Region. S. Augustus Mitchell hardcover

THAT FIRST AFFAIR AND OTHER SKETCHES .
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1896. Octavo pp. 1-4 i-vi vii-viii 1-2 3-177 178-180: blank note: last leaf is a blank illustrations by C. D Gibson A. B. Frost F. T. Richards and J. A. Mitchell original pictorial green cloth front panel stamped in white and gold spine panel stamped in gold t.e.g. other edges untrimmed. First edition second printing with half title reading "That First Affair / And Other Sketches" and "Trow" imprint on copyright page. A collection of five short stories all but one fantastic or supernatural the first middle and last bringing various perspectives to bear on the subject of romantic love while the other two act as intermezzos. The title story provides a decidedly un-Biblical and revisionary telling of the story of Adam and Eve artfully blending irony and pathos and sidestepping pitfalls that would have ruined most writers. "Mrs. Lofter's Ride" delicately vivisects the snobbery of the New York 400 generating some surprisingly vital comedy along with the satire. In the middle piece "The Portraits" an old thwarted love affair between two now elderly people is reprised by their grandchildren and finally consummated -- with supernatural help effected through the mechanism of two portraits on either side of the Atlantic. "The Man Who Vanished" is a mordant confection about sport with a talking bear that might have been called "The Hunted and the Hunters." The last story "A Bachelor's Supper" is a bittersweet glance at the fate of an old bachelor who invites the shades or are they just memories of his seven old lovers to a midnight supper. The gentle wistfulness of the tone receives a turn of the screw in the last sentence. This final story makes a nice bookend to the collection's first tale each painting the joys and agonies of an alternate approach to life -- marriage vs. celibacy -- and together reinforcing the old saw about women and the impracticability of living either with them or without them. An excellent collection. Mitchell brings a sure and light touch to material that is not at all lightweight. The results are amusing provocative and oddly moving. Bleiler 1978 p. 141. Reginald 10186.
