DIFFERENT RACES OF MEN. 
** Naturalists,” says Dr. Good, ‘‘ reckon five races of men.” 
Vhese differ in many features of person and character, as well as 
complexion, and we will point out the most striking distinctions. 
First. The Evrorzan, or wuITe RACE, is fair, having the 
cheelis more or less red; the head globular; the face straight and 
oval; the forehead slightly flattened; the nose narrow, and slightiy 
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 Astatic, 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
