Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Gregoire was an early nineteenth century French Roman Catholic
bishop who turned his attention to the place of African Americans
in Catholic and Euro-American thought. His work is, among other
things, a devastating critique of Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the
State of Virginia, in which the third president muses about black
inferiority. Gregoire's views made an American edition difficult,
as Jefferson opposed the book's appearance. An Enquiry is one of
the few of Gregoire's thirty-plus books to be translated into
English, and its publication in Brooklyn in 1810 was an event for
African Americans. In this new edition, Graham Hodges presents a
pristine reproduction of the original text in modern font, and
offers a critical introduction to Gregoire, Franco-American
abolitionism, and the influence of this important work on the
development of the African American intellectual tradition.
Amongst other things, this book is a devastating critique of Thomas
Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, in which he mused about
black inferiority. Its publication in 1810, after Jefferson's
opposition to its appearance, was a major event for African
Americans.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
