Author's Note

The drama here published is logically the third ina series of racial dramas, as follows:

1. The Saxons
2. The Slavs
3. The Americans
4. The Hindoos

Of this series The Saxons, dealing with man's strugglefor religious liberty, has already been published.For reasons that need not be given, it has been thoughtbest to postpone The Slavs, which will present man'sbattle for political liberty, and offer The Americans,the theme of which is the industrial conflict that isnow raging. The Hindoos, a drama of spiritual unfoldment,will come in its order.
