From the Author's Preface

The scenes of this story, as its title indicates, lie among a race hitherto ignored by the association of polite and refined society; an exotic race, whose ancestors, born beneath a tropic sun, brought with them, and perpetuated to their descendants, a character so essentially unlike the hard and dominant Anglo-Saxon race, as for many years to have won from it only misunderstanding and contempt. ...

But another and better day is dawning; every influence of literature, of poetry and of art, in our times, is becoming more and more in unison with the great master chord of Christianity, "good will to man."

For, while politicians contend, and men are served this way and that by conflicting tides of interest and passion, the great cause of human liberty is in the hands of one, of whom it retailer is said:
"He shall not fail nor be discouraged
Till He have set judgment in the earth."
"He shall deliver the needy when he crieth,
The Poor, and him that hath no helper."
"He shall redeem their should from deceit and silence,
And precious shall their blood be in His sight."
