ORIGIN

HISTORY OF THE NEGRO RACE.
FIRST SECTION.
Complexion of the Parents of the Human Race—Kind of Earth Man was made of—Power of the Hebrew Language in giving Names—Adam and Even both called Adam by the Creator—Complexion of the Antediluvians—Curious Chronology of the Holy Seed, from Adam to Jacob, the immediate Head of the Jewish Tribes—Personal Appearance of Adam and Eve, in Paradise, before the Fall—With many other curious matters.
