DIFFERENT RACES OF MEN. 



"Naturalists," says Dr. Good, "reckon five races of men.' 1 

 These dilFer in many features of person and character, as well ag 

 complexion, and we will point out the most striking distinctions. 



First. The European, or white race, is fair, having the 

 cheeks more or less red; the head globular; the face straight and 

 oval; the forehead slightly flattened; the nose narrow, and slightly 

 aquiline; the mouth usually small; the chin full and rounded; the 

 eyes blue or gray, oftener than dark; and the hair, yellow or 

 brown, of different shades, and flowing. 



The most perfect of this race may be found in Asia Minor 

 The Circassians and others who live south of the Caucasian moun- 

 tains, are the most beautiful persons in the world ; and it should be 

 remembered, that in this spot of the globe, man was first created 

 This circumstance is of some weight in the conjecture that the 

 original color was white. 



Second. The Asiatic, or brown man, is yellowish brown or olive; 

 the head is nearly square; the cheek bones wide, and the face flat; 

 the eyes are small and black; the chin rather prominent, and the 

 hair blackish and thin. 



Third. The American, or red man, is of a copper color; the 

 head is less square, the cheek bones less expanded, and the face 

 less flattened than in the Asiatic; the eyes are deeply seated, and 

 the hair is black, straight and thick
