PART I. MAN. A KNOWLEDGE of the various objects of nature and art, is doubtless worthy of the attainment of every one. An acquaintance with these objects contributes to enlarge the mind-to gratify a rational curiosityto excite admiring views of the Great Author of all things, and to prepare for a wider sphere of usefulness. Yet, it cannot be denied, that a knowledge of oneself is of higher importance still. Without self-knowledge, man must be ignorant of the true dignity of his nature, and lost to just views of the divine wisdom and goodness, displayed in his compo sition. Man, it has been well observed, is a compound existence, made up of two great parts; the Body, and the Mind, or Soul. The body was formed of the dust: but it is a frame of a most wonderful nature. The parts of which it is composed-their number—their various uses,-dependencies and operations, the arrangement, by which they are formed into a system,-the faculties attached to it, as seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling-its capacity of pleasure and pain-the warnings which it is fitted to give of approaching or commencing evil—and the power which it so variously possesses of self-restoration, are all wonderful, mysterious, and strongly declaratory of the skill and benevolence of the Creator. It is this, But the Mind or Soul is of a still more wonderful nature. which emphatically gives man his pre-eminence over other beings, by which he is surrounded; and entitles him to be considered as the "lord of the creation." To the faculties of the body there is a limit; but to the immortal mind God has never said, "Thus far shalt thou go, but no further." Much as man knows, in any stage of his progress, he may know still more; and may become still more exalted and lovely. Not confined to the present system, as are other animals, he is destined to an existence, which, in point of duration, will run parallel with that of his Maker. NATURAL HISTORY,-Structure. It will, therefore, naturally belong to the first part of our work to take a view of man, considered as to his animal and intellectual nature. SECTION I. NATURAL HISTORY, STRUCTURE, &C. VARIETIES.-The human family is divided into different nations, which are scattered abroad upon the face of the earth, and exhibit several varieties of form and color. These divisions are five in number: the European, or white race-the Tartar, or Mongul-the Malay-the African, or Negro race—and the American, or copper colored race. 1st. The European race is distinguished by the elegance of its form, and by a forehead more or less broad and prominent; indicative of a considerable portion of brain, in the front part of the skull; the skin is, however, fairer; the hair and eyes lighter in color, in the more tempe rate climates, than towards the south. This race includes all the inhabitants of Europe, (Except the Laplanders and Finns,) and the descendants of Europeans in America, and other portions of the world. It also embraces the inhabitants of the western temperate parts of Asia, as far as the river Oby, the Caspian Sea, and the Ganges, and those of the northern parts of Africa, viz. the people of Barbary, Egypt, and Abyssinia, and the Moors of Northern Africa. 2d. The Tartar, or Mongul race, is characterized by a yellow skin; straight black hair; square heads; large and flat face; small and flat nose: round and prominent cheeks; and pointed chin. This variety includes all the nations in Asia east of the Oby, Caspian, and Ganges, excepting Malacca. It embraces, also, the tribes which inhabit the frigid zones in both the eastern and western continents, including the Laplanders, Samoiedes, Ostiacs, Tunguses, Yakuts, Tschutskis, and Kamtschadales of Siberia, and the Esquimaux and Greenlanders. 3d. The Malay comprehends the inhabitants of the peninsula of Malacca, Ceylon, the Asiatic islands, New Zealand and Polynesia, with the exception of New Holland, New Guinea, New Caledonia, and Van Dieman's Land. This variety is characterized by a tawny color; black curled hair, which is soft, thick, and abundant; a prominent forehead; thick, wide, and flattened nose; and moderately projecting upper jaws. 4th. The African, or Negro variety, is spread over western and southern Africa. It is found, also, upon the coast of Madagascar, and occupies New Holland, Van Dieman's Land, New Caledonia, and New GuinThis variety is characterized by a black color; black and woolly hair; thick lips; projecting cheek bones; large and flat nose; raised chin; retreating forehead; and crooked legs. ea. 5th. The American, or copper colored race, includes all the aboriginal inhabitants of both the Americas, excepting the Esquimaux, and Greenlanders. This race is of a copper color, resembling that of rusty ron or cinnamon; coarse, straight, black hair; high cheek bones; and |
