 "THE NEGRO IN THE REBELLION:"

HIS HEROISM AND HIS FIDELITY.

Containing 380 Pages, Bound in Cloth, Price, $1.50.

This splendid work was published in 1867, and nearly the whole edition was burnt in the great Boston fire, so that but few copies were sold.

The universal demand now, for the only History which has done justice to the heroism of the colored Americans in the late war, induces us to get out this new edition.

The following are some of the comments of the Press:—  "William Wells Brown, M.D., the colored historian, is an author of whom the American Negro ought to feel proud. He has written much, and become popular as an author.  "Commencing with the first cargo of slaves landed in the Colonies in 1620, Dr. Brown carries the Negro through the war of 1812, the John Brown Raid, and the Rebellion, portraying in a graphic manner the horrors of the slave-trade, the different struggles of individual Negroes for the freedom of themselves and brothers; and finally gives a complete and detailed history of the part taken by the colored man in the late war, which showed to the world the true heroism and fidelity of the race. "The book is full of interesting and instructive facts, told in a fascinating way."—The National Monitor, Brooklyn, N. Y.

"Dr. Brown has laid his race under great obligations to him for writing this History of the services of the Negro in the Wars for American Liberty."—''Wm. Lloyd Garrison.''

"The Negro in the Rebellion is a needed accession to our literature, and does the author great credit."—New York Tribune.

"Every soldier of the war, and especially every colored soldier, will want this book."—New York Evening Post.
