[86] The Negro in Africa and America, by Alexander Tillinghast, M. A., N. Y., 1902.
This really scientific work, very complete though very brief, is as indispensable to whomsoever would enlighten the country upon the race question, as is the latest and best text-book to the lawyer considering a case under the law treated therein.
Mr. Page’s “The Negro: The Southerner’s Problem,” N. Y., 1904, has not the scientific merit of the last. But it most ably advocates the side generally taken by the south.
Both books are free from blinding passion and prejudice.
