The book ""Bible Defense of Slavery and Origin Fortunes and History of the Negro Race"" by Josiah Priest is a controversial work that attempts to justify the practice of slavery through religious and historical arguments. The author argues that the Bible supports the institution of slavery and that it was a natural and necessary part of society. He also discusses the origins of the African race and their supposed inferiority to other races. The book includes discussions of various historical events and figures, including the transatlantic slave trade and notable African Americans such as Frederick Douglass. This book is often criticized for its racist and inaccurate claims, and its defense of a morally reprehensible practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
