"object in sending forth this volume to the public is with the hope of inspiring a greater desire to read the Bible, especially among our young people. It is the only absolutely true and impartial book universally read today, containing the history of the ancient triumphs and glorious achievements of the race, assigning the Negro a place among the foremost races of the world, in wealth, in education, in honor and in religion--a history to which every member of the race may point with great pride and profound gratitude to Almighty God today; for the best way to judge the future of any people is by the past."
