This volume is in no sense the result of any recent agitation of the race question. Its inception dates from the year 1900, and the manuscript was prac tically completed before the Brownsville. Affair, the Atlanta riots, and other less serious race conflicts aroused the country to at least a temporary realization of the existence of latent racial antagonisms which, under sufficient provocation, may at any time cause serious trouble. Advantage was, however, taken of a final revision of the manuscript to refer briefly to two or three of the more recent outbreaks because of their value as illustrations of facts and conditions nu der discussion.
