Publisher description
Excerpt from History of the New-York African Free-Schools: From Their Establishment in 1787, to the Present Time; Embracing a Period of More Than Forty Years; Also a Brief Account of the Successful Labors, of the New-York Manumission Society; With Appendix
It has long been desired by the friends of the New-York African Free-Schools, that some account of their rise, progress, and present state, should appear before the public, in order, that a more correct idea may be formed, by strangers, of the practicability of imparting the useful branches of education to the descendants of Africans, as well as to other classes of the human family; and, inasmuch as abundant testimony can be produced to establish this fact, such publication may tend to encourage others to adopt means similar to those pursued by the New-York Manumission Society, and to anticipate the same cheering results.
Several gentlemen have been solicited to perform this task, but other engagements have prevented them from accomplishing it. This is the more to be regretted, on account of their superior qualifications: the writer, however, feels sensible, that the subject is one, which will be gratifying to the heart of the philanthropist, though unadorned with the flowers of language, or the more studied graces of polished composition.
