Excerpt from An Essay of the Natural History of Mankind, Viewed in Connection With Negro Slavery: Delivered Before the Southern Rights Association, 14th December, 1850
The Bible was clearly intended, not as a book of science, but to teach mankind their duties towards each other, and towards their Maker; and the inspiration which guided the human beings who wrote it, though full, for all purposes in tended, stepped very far short of Omniscience. It certainly will not be questioned that these writers gave no evidence whatever, of any scientific or geographical knowledge be yond that of their profane cotemporaries. They regarded the earth as an extended plain, and spoke of its sides and ends they knew nothing of its extent beyond that border ing on the Mediterranean Sea; they knew nothing of South ern Africa, Northern and Eastern Asia, the greater part of Europe, the whole of America, Australia, &c.: in a word, of nine-tenths of the inhabited globe. Even as late as the time of Christ, and for several centuries after, geographical knowledge extended little beyond the confines of the Roman Empire, and it can hardly be supposed that these writers knew any thing of Races whose countries were unknown to them. That many of these countries - and probably all were populated, as far back as the time of Moses, by the same many-colored races which we now find in them, is abundantly proved, and will be conceded.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and controversial subject of race relations in mid-19th-century America, specifically focusing on the institution of slavery and its implications for the nation's future. Set against the backdrop of rising tensions between the North and the South, the author explores the scientific and theological debates surrounding the origins and characteristics of different races. The author challenges prevailing notions of racial equality, arguing that inherent differences exist between White, Black, and Indigenous peoples, and that these differences have significant consequences for society. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary observations, the book contends that attempts to elevate Black people through education or emancipation are ultimately futile, as their supposed inferiority is a fixed law of nature. This book presents a thought-provoking and controversial perspective on race and slavery, offering insights into the intellectual and social climate of a nation on the brink of civil war. The author's arguments, though rooted in the beliefs of their time, raise enduring questions about the nature of human difference and the challenges of achieving a just and equitable society.
