Soft cover. 8vo. 19pp extract, printed in double columns, final page-only of the Grady item was damaged, and is here presented in reproduction, salvaged from damaged issues of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume XXIX, Nos. 3 & 6, January / April, 1885. The on-going issue of freed slaves. From the opening paragraph of the Cable, "The greatest social problem before the American people today is, as it has been for a hundred years, the presence among us of the negro. No comparable entanglement was ever drawn round itself by any other modern nation with so serene a disregard of its ultimate issue, or with a more distinct national responsibility." And from the Grady text, "In a lately printed article, Mr. George W. Cable, writing in the name of the Southern people, confesses judgment on points that they still defend, and commits them to a line of thought from which they must forever dissent."
