Excerpt from History of the Negro Race in America From 1619 to 1880: Negroes as Slaves, as Soldiers, and as Citizens; Together With a Preliminary Consideration of the Unity of the Human Family, an Historical Sketch of Africa, and an Account of the Negro Governments of Sierra Leone and Liberia The labor incident upon the several public positions held by me pre cluded an earlier completion of this task; and, finding it absolutely im possible to write while discharging public duties or practising law, I retired from the public service several years ago, and since that time have devoted all my energies to this work. It is now nearly seven years since I began this wonderful task. I have been possessed of a painful sense of the vastness of my work from first to last. I regret that for the sake of pressing the work into a single volume, favorable to a speedy sale, at the sacrifice of the record of a most remarkable people, I found my heart unwilling, and my best judgment protesting. In the preparation of this work I have consult-cd over title-ive thousand volumes - about one thousand of which are referred to in the foot notes, - and thousands of pamphlets.
