About this Item

91, [1 blank] pp. Original printed salmon wrappers with wrapper title [as issued]. Spine reinforced with tape binding and staples. Old library rubberstamp on blank portion of front wrapper. Presentation inscription from the author to Theo M. Peck. Inner margin of front wrapper with a couple of chips. Blue printed slip laid in, from Charles Winkley of Jackson, Mississippi, advising that he has copies "for distribution." Good plus. This rare pamphlet is a vicious attack on the intelligence and character of "the colored race." Tucker says they are "utterly unfitted for citizenship," "retrograding in morality," "unintelligent and slow," with the "instinct of concealment." Though "professing religion, [they] have a form of Christianity without its substance: and further, that they have no comprehension of what that substance ought to be." Slavery was a good thing: "When the negroes were brought over to this country they were absolute barbarians." Alexander Crummell responded in an 1883 pamphlet. Not in LCP, Work, Blockson, Owen. OCLC locates about forty institutional copies.
