Some of this material appears in the notes, but accessible authorities and the classical writers have been given the more prominent place. The supplement covered, as first prepared, substantially every statement in the book, but much was afterward omitted because it would seem that some things could be taken without proof. xxviiiThe Passing of the Great Race, in its original form, was designed by the author to rouse his fellow-Americans to the overwhelming importance of race and to the folly of the Melting Pot theory, even at the expense of bitter controversy.
