A narrative of the proceedings of the black people, during the late awful calamity in Philadelphia, in the year 1793 : and a refutation of some censures, thrown upon them in some late publications / by A.J. and R.A. Philadelphia : Printed for the authors, by William W. Woodward, at Franklin's Head, no. 41, Chesnut-Street, 1794. 1 online resource (28 pages) Pennsylvania District copyright, no. 54, issued in 1794 to Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, "as authors and proprietors."--p. [2]. The publications referred to in the title are those of Mathew Carey, particularly his A short account of the malignant fever, lately prevalent in Philadelphia (Philadelphia, 1793), wherein he makes disparaging remarks about the conduct of the city's free black population, many of whom served as nurses and gravediggers during the yellow fever epidemic. Carey's work appeared in three editions in 1793. Jones and Allen take specific exception to Carey's comments in both the 2nd (pp. 76-77) and 3rd (p. 106) editions. Carey replied to Jones' narrative and to a criticism signed "Argus," in a work titled: Address of M. Carey to the public (Philadelphia, 1794). The narrative is followed by a letter to Matthew Clarkson, mayor of Philadelphia (dated Jan. 7, 1794, and signed by Absalom Jones and Richard Allen) with Clarkson's reply (dated Jan. 23, 1794); "An address to those who keep slaves, and approve the practice"; "To the people of colour"; and "A short address to the friends of him who hath no helper."
