Sparkling Gems of Race Knowledge Worth Reading

Sparkling Gems of Race Knowledge Worth Reading, A compendium of valuable information and wise suggestions that will inspire noble effort at the hands of every race-loving man, woman, and child.

If, as Lord Bacon says, "reading makes a full man," then it behooves every one who has any aspirations to read. The negro is just passing, as it were, through the gateway that enters upon life's great work, and the publishers of this little volume are anxious to see our "brother in black" develop, both from an intellectual and a moral standpoint, and are ready to do what they can to stimulate the race on to still greater achievements than they have ever before accomplished.

In launching "Sparkling Gems" we are simply putting forth to the world what we hope may, in some measure, instruct and encourage the colored people. We have compressed a vast amount of valuable race information into a small compass. The style of the work is good, and its moral tone is excellent. It can scarcely fail to profit every member of the race who will read it, hence it should be in every family, in every office, and in every library.
