I have many objects in presenting this book to the public.
_First_: I love my race regardless of the prejudice against her, the
unenviable position she holds, and the things she is falsely said to be
guilty of.
I demonstrate my love for her by launching this book before the public as
somewhat of a defense against the prejudice of ancient, as well as modern
historical writers and lecturers, who have misrepresented her, and took
from her the good deeds and honors that are justly due her.
_Secondly_: I realize that my race has had defenders, and has some now,
men of my race and men of other races. But I am simply presenting this
book as an humble race defender, in connection with the body of race
defenders, and if my theory in this book is accepted as one of the little
fingers of this splendid body, I will feel that I have accomplished some
results and thus portrayed the story of "The Widow's Mite"--she gave all
she had, and I contribute likewise.
_Thirdly_: To appreciate my argument, the reader had best have a Bible at
his finger tips so as to examine my references and compare them with my
statements, which I make wholly and solely upon the authorities found in
the Bible, which in turn is the real and only authority on ancient history
(again my authority is not inspired in the slightest degree with malice or
hatred for the white race). My profession as a Minister of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ would not permit me to defend in the name of justice,
harboring malice and hatred or any ill feeling toward my white brethren. I
am acting with that meek and humble spirit and with a gigantic pride in my
race, which I hope, pleases God.
