Notes & Asides

Although we do not doubt that it was unintentional, the display advertisements published in the preceding (July 13) issue of national review for the book American Statesmen on Slavery and the Negro gave the impression that the book was invidious to the Negro people. The advertisement was not seen beforehand by the publisher or any of the editors of national review, all of whom regret its publication, while making no judgment against the motives of the authors or the publishers. —WFB
