This Second Volume is simply a continuation of the first one. The magnitude of the work, rendered a division into two volumes desirable                     

"No, I'm not a loser - I produce an infinity of beautiful thoughts every day!" Sfirology & Polygenesis is a compilation of works by me - Gur of Emek Hefer (hi!), an Israeli Frankist initiate and theologian. This book contains elucidations on the Book of Creation by Nathan of Gaza, which I have fully mastered, as well as my own ideas and concepts. My main thesis in the book is that the all-universe - or the "ecumenon" (as Deleuze and Guattari would've worded it) - is constructured like a manifold body or "alchemical vessel", consisting with an infinity of little seed-bodies undergoing processes of regeneration and transmutation. Each body in this manifold upholds a spagyristic "inner firmament" (in Paracelsian-Shabbatean terms) within which spiritual inputs - flows-of-love - get coagulated. This is my debut book after long time of refining my thoughts and understandings, deeply contemplating the mysteries of scriptures and mechanisms of creation.

My purpose in writing this book has been to make a clear statement of the exact present conditions and relationships of the Negro in American Hfe. I am not vain enough to imagine that I have seen all the truth, nor that I have always placed the proper emphasis upon the facts that I here present. Every investigator necessarily has his personal equation or point of view. The best he can do is to set down the truth as he sees it, without bating a jot or adding a tittle, and this I have done. I have endeavoured to see every problem, not as a Northerner, noras a Southerner, but as an A merican. And I have looked at the Negro, not merely as a menial, as he is commonly regarded in the South, noras a curiosity, as he is often seen in the North, but as a plain human being, animated with his own hopes, depressed by his own fears, meeting his own problems with failure or success. 1have accepted no statement of fact, however generally made, until I was fully persuaded from my own personal investigation that what I heard was really a fact and not a rumour. Wherever I have ventured upon conclusions, I claim for them neither infallibility nor originality. They are offered frankly as my own latest and clearest thoughts upon the various subjects discussed. If any man can give me better evidence for the error of my conclusions than I have for the truth of them I am prepared to go with him, and gladly, as far as he can prove his way. And I have offered my conclusions, not in a spirit of controversy, nor in behalf of any party or section of the country, but in the hope that, by inspiring a broader outlook, they may lead, finally, to other conclusions more nearly approximating the truth than mine.

While it is not within the purview of our purpose to de fend the institution of slavery, as it existed in the South ern States, either upon moral or political grounds, yet we would not vindicate the truth of history, in passing over in silence the real authors of an institution that has been the theme of such bitter invective at the hands of their intol erant and hypocritical descendants. Massachusetts and Connecticut were among the first colonies to introduce African slavery upon their soil, and conducted 'the new en terprise with more interest and zeal than any of their sister colonies. Massachusetts in particular had an addition al incentive to stimulate her to engage in the slave traffic; for, besides the demand for the African as a laborer to till her soil, she enjoyed a monopoly of the shipping in terest among the colonies, and did not stop at that early day to consider the horrors of the middle passage, but at once fitted out her ship for the coast of Africa, and con tinned this species of merchandise as long as she could find a market for the so-called human chattels. Virginia, and other more Southern colonies, entered an earnest re monstrance against the slave trade, and raised an issue with the New England colonies against its continuance, which was not met in a spirit of compromise by those men, whose descendants, eighty years later, began a sectional war to overturn an institution their fathers had been mainly instrumental in setting up.

The Negro Problem is a collection of several essays by prominent American writers, such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Laurence Dunbar, edited by Booker T. Washington. The book was published in 1903.
