Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Physical, Intellectual, and Moral Qualities of Our Colored Population: With Remarks on the Subject of Emancipation and Colonization
The following Essay was written several months ago, and before any disgraceful scenes, such as those that have recently occurred, had tarnished the efforts of philanthropy. As it was designed for newspaper publication, it was divided into brief numbers. Although he is aware that it has been too carelessly drawn up to bear the test of criticism as a literary composition, the writer has been reluctant to revise it, lest he might be tempted to infuse into it too much of the feeling that recent events are calculated to produce. In the hope that the historical facts that have been cited in the essay, may have a tendency to direct public attention to some rational mode of eleva. Ting the condition of our colored population, the following pages are respectfully submitted for examination.
