Excerpt from The Races of Men: A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Influence of Race Over the Destinies of Nations The mind of the race, instinctive and reasoning, naturally differs in correspondence with the organization, What Wilda Utopian theories have been advanced - what misstatements, respecting civilization! The most important of margin in intellectual faculties, the surest, the best, e instinctive, namely, - has even been declared to be wanting to human nature What wild and fanciful theories of human progress, of human civilization Look at Europe; at either bank of the Danube; at Northern Africa; at Egypt; at the shores of the Mediterranean, generally, and say what progress civilization has made in these countries since the decline of the Roman Empire. Is Ireland civilized? In Cicero's time the Island of Rhodes presented a civilization which no part of Britain can pretend to what is its state at this moment? But, it may be said, Christianity has done much. This I doubt; but admitting it to be the case, its progress is not evident: to me it seems to lose ground. It presents also a variety of forms essentially distinct: with each race its cha racter is altered; Celtic, Saxon, Sarmatian, express in so many words, the Greek, Roman, Lutheran forms of wor ship. M. Daubigny has expended many words in explaining the rejection of the Reformation by certain nations, its adoption by others; let him look to the map, and he will find that, with a slight exception, if it really be one, the Celtic race universally rejected the Reformation of Luther; the Saxon race as certam adopted it. There need be no mystery in stating so simple a fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
