MAN 



EACES OP MEN. 



There are several races of men which are distinguished by 

 their colour. 



Four principal races of men are recognized ; the white, the 

 yellow, the red, and the black. 



The white race comprises, those nations whose skin is more or 

 less white, the hair silky, and the eyes blue or brown. It is 

 the race in which civilization is most advanced. It inhabits 

 part of Asia and Africa, and nearly all Europe. Among the 

 blonde nations, we include the English, Swedes, Danes and 

 Germans. Among the brown races are the Indians, Persians, 

 Arabs, Greeks, Italians, and Spanish. The French resemble 

 either the blonde or the brown nations around them, according 

 to the district which they inhabit.
