Unity of the Human Race. 311 



by the hand of the Creator, and from these we are 

 enabled to decide on their identity, and from this 

 identity we infer their primordial origin. All the 

 fishes, and every species named by Agassiz, were de- 

 scribed from the characters they presented in 

 Nature, without resorting to the unprofitable and 

 impracticable search after their primordial existence. 

 WP may, however, here observe that the figures 

 of dogs and of men (the latter only are of any 

 scientific value) on the Eastern monuments, have 

 been carefully studied and delineated by master 

 minds men, at whose feet Mr. Gliddon has sat as 

 an humble copyist. They are now giving to the 

 world the result of their scientific researches. Both 

 Lepsius and Bunsen have already proclaimed their 

 belief in the doctrine of the Unity of the Human 

 Race, and the former is now engaged in a work, in 

 which he will offer reasons for the faith that is in 

 him. Thus these monumental records, which 

 caused Gliddon to pronounce, in the language of 

 scorn and obloquy, a tirade against the Scriptures, 

 convinced the minds of Lepsius and Bunsen of their 

 truth, and filled them with humility, reverence and 

 awe. Their scientific researches satisfied them of 

 the truth of doctrines proclaimed by Moses, and 

 confirmed by .Paul : " And God hath made of one 

 blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the 

 earth, and hath determined the time before appointed, 

 and the bounds of their habitation." Acts 17 : ^26. 



After closely comparing the different Races of 

 Men, he says :

 all these varieties, that Professor Agassiz himself has 

 been compelled to admit that " Man is everywhere 

 the one identical species." Although, in his last pub-
