Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Holm's Race Assimilation: Or the Fading Leopard's Spots
I propose to treat the race problem in America from a scientific Viewpoint never before attempt ed. In addressing, my readers I shall use the plural number, because I feel that it is not I but We, who are writing this book. I feel the spiritual assistance of Garrison, Phillips, Douglass and others, to strengthen, encourage and embolden me to tell, without fear or favor, the unvarnished truth.
If my reader believes that this book is written in defense Of the Negro he is, indeed, mistaken. I, as a scientist, write in defense Of justice. That means that I condemn those elements in human society which tend to pull apart, tear down and destroy, and defend those elements which build up, unite and harmonize. This book is not in tended to be, used in a praise service, nor yet in an indignation meeting, but in the spacious Hall of Reason and Justice.
