Excerpt from Humanity: Its Fountain and Stream
We give in the following pages the results of a quarter of a century's research and investigation, condensed, it is true, but yet exhibiting such a comprehensive view of the subject as we trust cannot fail of being interesting, instructive, and popular. Not being content with gambolling along the banks of the expanded stream, we have everywhere endeavored to explore up to the fountain head. From the facts we have gathered, our conclusions differ in many respects from those of others who have examined and written on the same subject.
But, nevertheless, we fearlessly submit them with candor and confidence to the judgment of the present enlightened and inquiring age; not forgetting in the mean time that others, high in the confidence of their fellow-men, have arrived at different conclusions, and entertain different views.
The facts and arguments used to demonstrate the true cause of difference between the apparent distinct families of mankind being founded on facts, must, we think, stand the test of the most rigid investigation. If we have discovered the key that opens the casket containing the secret of the different complexions among men, then the Portraits, produced at great expense in the body of the work, when stripped of their different complexions, must ever remain an unanswerable argument in favor of the brotherhood of man.
