NEGROES
AND
NEGRO “SLAVERY:”
THE FIRST AN INFERIOR RACE:
THE LATTER ITS NORMAL CONDITION.

BY
J. H. VAN EVRIE, M.D.

“To our reproach it must be said, that, though for a century and a half we have had under our eyes the races of black and of red men, they have never yet been viewed by us as subjects of natural history. I advance it, therefore, as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a different race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of mind and body.”—Thomas Jefferson in his “Notes on Virginia.”
