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. The book is a controversial and racist essay that discusses the supposed inferiority of the African race and argues that it is inappropriate for white people to associate with or have any dealings with black people. Flournoy presents his arguments based on his belief that black people are intellectually and morally inferior to white people, and he uses various examples and anecdotes to support his claims. The book is considered to be a product of its time, reflecting the attitudes and beliefs prevalent in the early 19th century, and is widely criticized for its racist content. Despite its controversial nature, the book remains a significant historical document that provides insight into the racist beliefs and attitudes that were prevalent in the United States during the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
