About this Item

cloth, 110 pages, some toning to edges of cover, ex lib w/ink stamp on t.p., reprint of the 1864 ed. published under title: The refugees from slavery in Canada West. . 'the United States Freedmen's Inquiry Commission made an investigation, through one of its members, of the condition of the colored population of Canada West," "This pamphlet contains the result of inquiries and observations made during the investigation. At any time but this, an apology might be necessary for putting forth, in such a hasty and crude form, the observations and speculations which it contains. But now, when every body is asking what shall be done with the negroes, -- and many are afraid that they cannot take care of themselves if left alone, -- an account of the manner in which twenty thousand are taking care of themselves in Canada, may be interesting, even if it be imperfect, and contain superflous speculations" --.
