CRUMMELL, ALEXANDER. The Negro Race not Under a Curse. 31 pages. Small 8vo, self-wrappers, disbound; outer leaves slightly darkened at the edges; small stamp "catalogued" on title-page. London: Wertheim, Macintiosh and Hunt, [1853?]
first separate edition, after appearing in The Christian Observer in September 1852. Crummell (1819-98), clergyman, teacher, and missionary, was born in New York City to free black parents. Probably the most educated African-American of his day, he attended the African Free School and the Noyes Academy, together with James McCune Smith and Henry Highland Garnett. Crummell attended Cambridge University from 1848-53. In this essay, he addresses one of the biblical arguments that were so popular with pro-slavery clergymen on both sides of the Atlantic. A very scarce pamphlet. OCLC locates only one copy at the Schomburg center.
