Mr.
Gilman, in whom I have the highest confidence, has also testified to
his good moral character.
This certificate is therefore furnished to him by me, with a view to
promote his establishment and success in Liberia at the Bar there.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
There is no helpful bibliography on the early education of the
American Negro. A few books treating the recent problems of education
in this country give facts about the enlightenment of the colored
people before their general emancipation, but the investigator has to
depend on promiscuous sources for adequate information of this kind.
With the exception of a survey of the _Legal Status of the Colored
Population in Respect to Schools and Education in the Different
States_, published in the Report of the United States Commissioner of
Education in 1871, there has been no attempt at a general treatment
of this phase of our history. This treatise, however, is too brief to
inculcate an appreciation of the extensive efforts to enlighten the
ante-bellum Negro.
Considered as a local problem this question has received more
attention.
