268   THE CRISIS ADVERTISER

BOOKS BY PROMINENT NEGROES
Issued by the Neale Publishing Company, New York, N.Y.

The American Cavalryman. By HENRY F. DOWNING
Mr Downing perhaps has had a more varied career than any other living Negro from the Civil War to the war between the United States and Germany. He was the first colored man to represent the United States at a city of a white government, by appointment of President Cleveland. He introduced Coleridge-Taylor to the London Public. He persuaded Liberia to open its doors to foreign capital. Merely to recount his activities in public life of the past fifty years would take a volume. But his highest renown has been won as a man of letters, and this is a romance of Liberia - a romance of a very high order, written by the only man who could have written it. $1.50 by mail.

Haiti: Her History and Her Detractors
By J. N. LEGER
M. Leger, formerly represented Haiti as Minister to the United States and later represented Haiti as a member of the Peace Conference, at The Hague. In Europe as well as in America he is regarded as one of the ablest men of his race. Two editions: one in English and one in French. Illustrated. Each edition $3.20 by mail.

The Facts of Reconstruction By JOHN R. LYNCH
Major Lynch, an officer of the United States Army, lived through Reconstruction, and took a lively part therein. He served as a Member of Congress, later became Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, and by far the greater part of his adult life has been passed in public service. The late Sen. Hoar in his "Autobiography" referred to Major Lynch in high terms. Illustrated. Fourth thousand. $1.65 by mail.

Redder Blood By WILLIAM M. ASHBY
Prof. Ashby was recently graduated from Yale. This novel, his first book, is a valuable contribution to the literature of his race. $1.00 by mail.

Ethiopia By CLAYTON ADAMS
Mr. Adams writes of the Land of Promise in this powerful novel, - the adjective is used deliberately. The ancient Kingdom of Ethiopia has passed away, but its name still lives, not only as the proper appellation of the Negro race, but also figuratively, principally to designate the invisible kingdom of native Africans and their descendants. $1.00 by mail.

Race Adjustment By KELLY MILLER
Prof. Miller, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, is easily in the first rank of Negro teachers, writers, orators, and leaders, and is so recognized on both sides of the Atlantic. This volume comprises his essays on the Negro in America that won for him fame as a man of letters when they were first published periodically. Third edition. $2.15 by mail.

Out of the House of Bondage By KELLY MILLER
This volume by Dean Miller contains the essays that he had written up to the time of its publication that were not included in his earlier volume, "Race Adjustment," and have been written since the earlier volume was published. Already the sale of this new volume has been large. $1.65 by mail.

Negro Culture in West Africa By GEORGE W. ELLIS
Mr. Ellis was for eight years Secretary of the United States Legation in Liberia. Since his return to America, he has written extensively on the Negro and his problems, and has taken a prominent place among the leaders of his race. In many respects this latest book of his is the most important work on the Negro yet published, - the Negro in Africa. Illustrated. $2.15 by mail.

Racial Adjustments in the Methodist Episcopal Church By JOHN H. REED
The Rev. Dr. Reed, D.D., K.C., writes authoritatively on the subject matter of his book. Introduction by Adna B. Leonard, D.D., LL.D. $1.60 by mail.

The Black Man's Burden By WILLIAM H. HOLTZCLAW
Prof. Holtzclaw is the founder and the principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute for the Training of Colored Young Men and Young Women, already one of the largest educational institutions in the South. Introduction by the late Booker T. Washington. Third Thousand. $1.00 by mail.

Negro Tales By JOSEPH S. COTTER
Prof. Cotter is the principal of one of the largest schools for Negroes in the South. Like Prof. Ashby and Mr. Adams, Prof. Cotter reveals Negro life in imaginative prose fiction, - a branch of literature to which Negro authors should give greater attention. $1.00 by mail.

The Voice of Mizriam By JOHN WALTER PAISLEY
Prof. Paisley, for many years a professor of English Literature, has assembled in this volume his own poems. The book deserves a place on the library shelf where Dunbar's fine poems are to be found. $1.25 by mail.

The New Negro By WILLIAM PICKENS
Dean Pickens, Dean of Morgan College, was graduated
from Yale in the highest grade of his class.
There he won the Phi Beta Kappa Key and the
Ten Eyck Oration. In this book, the full title of
which is "The New Negro; His Political, Civil, and
Mental Status," he discusses with great force and
clarity nearly all the pressing political problems that now confront his race.  $1.60 by mail.

The Key By JAMES S. STEMONS
Mr. Stemons is the Field Secretary of the Joint
Organization for Equalizing Industrial Opportunities
and the League of Civic and Political Reform. He holdS this work to be what its full title implies: "The Key; or, a Tangible Solution of the
Negro Problem." Undoubtedly, the work is a powerful
study of the Negro and his problems. $1.00 by
mail.

THE CRISIS ADVERTISER 269


Do you Want to Read a Live, Red-blooded Story with a Regular Punch in it? Then do not fail to get "FROM SUPERMAN TO MAN" by J. A. Rogers.

The most striking vindication of the Negro ever penned Brilliant arguments backed by an invincible array of the world's greatest thinkers - Shakespeare, Schopenhauer Darwin, Huxley, Finot. Anti-Negro harangue-outangs overwhelmed with ridicule. The case against the Negro laughed out of court. All in an easy, breezy style you'll enjoy.

Prof. George B. Foster, University of Chicago: "A stirring story, faithful to truth and helpful to a better understanding and feeling. 

W. N. C. Carlton, Esq., Librarian, Newberry Library, Chicago (in a letter to the author): "I shall place your book in the permanent collection of the Library where present day and future students of the history of your race will find it a most significant document."

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: "From Superman to Man is a vindication of the American Negro."

Attorney Charles Scrutchin, Bemidji Minnesota: "A thoughtful, courageous book."

Hon. George W. Ellis, K. C., F. R. G. S. (eight years Secretary of the U. S. Legation to Liberia, author of "Negro Culture in West Africa." etc.): "From Superman to Man by J. A. Rogers is a significant contribution to interracial literature in more ways than one. Its breadth of scholastic research, its selection and concentration of matter are as amazing as its wealth of information. The book is well written and the skillful management of materials shows not only the author's mastery of his subject, but his knowledge of the technique of the literary art. In the program of the broadest education of the races and the promotion of social concord and co-operation this volume should be in every library and home of the country. In his absorbing story we see the souls of the white and darker worlds groping and struggling toward the better day of peace and good understanding between the races."

New York Evening Post: "This porter who had attended Yale, had travelled extensively and spoke several languages, had at his fingers' end the arguments necessary to prove that his race was not a whit inferior to the Caucasian."

We are trying to get the truth before the people and ask your support. Copies of this fearless book have been sent to over one hundred leading thinkers; also to the leading anti-Negro authors and politicians. Please order today.

The Journal of Negro History

Published Quarterly
100 Pages

Edited by CARTER G. WOODSON

THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY is the official organ of the Association for the Story of Negro Life and History, which is now trying not to promote an isolated research into the history of the black race but to show how civilization has been influenced by contact with the people of color. This publication aims to popularize the movement to save and make available the scattered historical materials bearing on the Negro. In it appear scholarly articles and valuable documents giving information generally unknown. It is concerned with facts, not with opinions.

Subscription price, $1.00 per year. Foreign subscriptions, 25 cents extra. Single numbers, 25 cents; 30 cents by mail.
