Gardiner Spring, who was the minister at the Brick Presbyterian Church. Church records indicate that Lindley was dismissed from the church in 1843 without note of transfer to a different congregation. An inflammatory effort to sway public opinion against N----s in the South receiving the right to vote and hold office. The author seeks to prove that the N---o has never been civilized, but is a savage brute with no conscience, and incapable of ruling over whites. The "home" in the title refers to Africa, and a review of the society and living conditions of Africans makes up the bulk of the book. The N---o is "cruel and murderous," parents kill their children, N----s are addicted to sensuality, "Gross, Filthy Feeding," addicted to cannibalism and blood-drinking, conduct black magic and necromancy, know "how to cut up a fat girl," practice human sacrifice, and are addicted to every degradation and depravity. In fact, 300 years of missionary efforts had not civilized the African, and when missionaries are not present all reverts to superstition and paganism. The author insists that such creatures are not fit to be in white society, let alone rule over it. His aim is to stop Radical Reconstruction in the South.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~An extremely scarce book, particularly in such good condition ~ 5" x 7.5"
