Excerpt from The Aftermath of Slavery: A Study of the Condition and Environment, of the American Negro

I can remember, in the same way, when every Boston Di rectory separated the two races, putting the colored families at the end of the book; and I can remember when the very editor who first made the change told me of it beforehand, begging to keep it secret that the newspapers might not get hold of it. Pvhen the people once see it done, he said, they will soon forget that it ever was otherwise. Thus much I say of the execution of the book, which is in almost all respects admirable and shows much more thoroughness in dealing with both sides than any book recently produced by a Southern white man, except that of Mr. Murphy, which is a model to all in its tone, though even that, I think, does here and there a little less than justice to the negro.
