. The great American book of biography . religion, superstition and effusive sentiment are giving way to stricter educational matters, ambition for the hicjh-soundino; and the abstract is orivino-place to practical and industrial acquirements. It will be many years beforethe character of the negro, for centuries dwarfed and distorted by oppressionand ignorance, reaches its normal growth, but that the race is now at last uponthe right path and is being guided by the true principles cannot be doubted. ;6 6i8 THE STORY OF AMERICAN SLAVERY.
