I pulled this book today. The whole title is
The college of life; or, Practical self-educator, a manual of self-improvement for the colored race, forming an educational emancipator and a guide to success, giving examples and achievements of successful men and women of the race as an incentive and inspiration to the rising generation, including Afro-American progress illustrated, the whole embracing, business, social, domestic, historical, and religious education. Pretty crazy, huh?
But the part I like best is the publisher. This book was published by Mnemosyne Publishers Inc. In case you are a little rusty on your Greek mythology,
Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory and the origin of the word
mnemonic. Funny, because you would indeed need a mnemonic if you ever wanted to remember the title of this book in its entirety.
