Transcriber's Note: Obvious typographic errors have been corrected.
COLORED AMERICANS.
God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth. —Acts xvii., 26.
PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE RESIDUARY ESTATE OF LINDLEY MURRAY.
NEW YORK: WILLIAM WOOD & CO., 27 Great Jones Street. 1875.
Lindley Murray, the Grammarian, and author of several excellent School and Reading books, in his last Will bequeathed certain funds to Trustees in America, his native country, for several benevolent objects, including the gratuitous distribution of books calculated to promote piety and virtue, and the truth of Christianity.
The Trustees have had The Power of Religion on the Mind, in Retirement, Affliction, and at the approach of Death, stereotyped, and several thousand copies printed and distributed.
They also publish the following Narratives compiled by A. Mott, and M. S. Wood, believing they will prove acceptable reading to our Colored Americans.
