To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nott and Gliddon say : " It is true that most of the black races are found in Afri- ca ; but, on the other hand, many equally black are met ■with in the temperate climates of India, Austraiia, and Oco- anica, though dilfering in every attribute except color." — •Types of Mankind, NoU and Gliddon, page 63.
From these few citations, it becomes manifest that color is not controlled by climate, and that men of every hue may be found in every latitude.
On this point, authorities are not discordant.
...But, sir, whUe this is admitted to be true in re- lation to the mere color, it is claimed that cli- mate determines the location of race, and that «ach race, probably, had a distinct origin, and Was adapted to the peculiarities of the climate in which it was originally found ; and, of course, that the history of the origin of the human fam- ily contained in the Bible is all a fiction. I have no doubt that the views on this subject, which are now entertained by so many in the South, can be traced back to a learned paper written at a recent period by Professor Agassiz, and incor- porated in the work last cited, which seems to have been written and published very opportune- ly to sustain that change in public opinion an- bounced by the honorable Senators from Virginia the other day as having transpired, within a few years past, in Virginia and the South.
