Publishers' Note to the 13th Edition.
Few works written upon the colored race have equaled in circulation "The Rising Son."
In the past two years the sales have more than doubled in the Southern States, and the demand for the book is greatly on the increase. Twelve thousand copies have already been sold; and if this can be taken as an index to the future, we may look forward with hope that the colored citizens are beginning to appreciate their own authors.
