Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Much herein contained was deemed, when first uttered to private audiences, some years ago, prophetic, if not Wholly. Visionary, in its character. I leave all those parts to stand just as first written, so that my readers will see with what fearful rapidity prophesy has already become history. All that relates to the future prospects of the black race and of the umon of the States, he should consider as uttered at that date.
