THE HUMAN TYPE. 291 



Indian Ocean, the steppes of Central Asia, and the Him- 

 alaya Mountains. From thence it has spread into India, 

 Arabia, Syria, Asia Minor, and Egypt. 2d. The Red, 

 inhabiting only America. 3d. The Yellow, which has 

 existed in China from remote antiquity, and has spread 

 into all countries inhabited by Mongolians. 4th. The 

 Black, which belongs to Central and Western Africa, 

 and is distributed over the tropics from the east coast 

 to Australia. It is doubtful if either of these races rep- 

 resents the primitive type of man. 



22. We close our brief survey of life with the religious 

 sentiments of the Psalmist : * I will praise thee ; for I 

 am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy 

 works ; and that my soul knoweth right well. My sub- 

 stance was not hid from thee, when I was made in 

 secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the 

 earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being im- 

 perfect ; and in thy book all my members were written, 

 which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there 

 was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts 

 unto me, O God ! how great is the sum of them ! If I 

 should count them, they are more in number than the 

 sand : when I awake, I am still with thee. . . . Search me, 

 O God, and know my heart ; try me, and know my 

 thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me. 

 and lead me in the way everlasting."
