the palzolithic men who were the contemporaries in 
France of the Reindeer and the Mammoth. Instances 
of unselfish love, of true gratitude, and of deep reli-. 
gious feeling, sometimes occur among most savage 
races, 
On the whole, then, we may conclude, that the general 
moral and intellectual development of the savage, is 
not less removed from that of civilized man than has 
been shown to be the case in the one department 
of mathematics; and from the fact that all the moral

us now compare the intellectual wants of the savage, 
and the actual amount of intellect he exhibits, with 
those of the higher animals. Such races as the
