Excerpt from Sketches of the Higher Classes of Colored Society in Philadelphia In presenting this little volume to the public, a few words prefatory may not be amiss. Its author does not pretend to have entered fully into the general condition of colored society in Philadelphia, but has merely glanced at some of the chief characteristics, with the design, first, to remove some of the unfounded prejudices from without, and secondly, to correct certain abuses which are known to exist among themselves. The idea of "Higher Classes" of colored society is, it must be confessed, a novel one, and will, undoubtedly, excite the mirth of a prejudiced community on its annunciation.
