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.
Originally published in 1867, this book is a collection of songs of
African-American slaves. A few of the songs were written after the
emancipation, but all were inspired by slavery. The wild, sad
strains tell, as the sufferers themselves could, of crushed hopes,
keen sorrow, and a dull, daily misery, which covered them as
hopelessly as the fog from the rice swamps. On the other hand, the
words breathe a trusting faith in the life after, to which their
eyes seem constantly turned.
