Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay On The Origin, Habits, Etc. Of The African Race: Incidental To The Propriety Of Having Nothing To Do With Negroes"" is a book written by John Jacobus Flournoy in 1835. This book is a controversial work that discusses the African race and argues for the propriety of having nothing to do with Negroes. The author explores the origins and habits of the African race, discussing their physical characteristics, customs, and beliefs. Flournoy's writing reflects the attitudes and beliefs prevalent in the United States during the early 19th century, including the belief in the inferiority of Africans and the justification of slavery. The book is considered a relic of a bygone era, but it provides insight into the racist and discriminatory attitudes that existed during this time in history. Despite its controversial nature, ""An Essay On The Origin, Habits, Etc. Of The African Race"" is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the complex history of race relations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
