Excerpt from Indian Myths, or Legends, Traditions, and Symbols of the Aborigines of America: Compared With Those of Other Countries; Including Hindostan, Egypt, Persia, Assyria, and China

BY the compilation of these myths, I seek to make more evident the capacity of the Indian race for moral and intellectual culture.

The oneness of origin of diverse races is not less ap parent than the singleness of the origin of the rainbow light broken upon a cloud. The same orb whence fall the unshattered sunbeams upon the hill-top is also the source of the pageant of color fringing the dark mantle of the flying storm. Diversity in unity is the vesture of God, the Parent Energy of the universe. Diverse races are but the varying offspring of that ever existent Life of which the heavens are witness, whose measure less heights transcend the limits of thought. Our earth, an atom in shoreless space, is a laboratory in which tireless Divinity works with unceasing energy, kindling the fire of souls, and informing with wisdom the com mon dust thrown off the passing foot of man, permit ting the microscopic particles to inhale that breath which is life.
