have the same attributes. Physiology argues for such unity ; 

 more eloquently still do moral, psychological and theological 

 science. Human nature, the human heart, the human soul, are 

 in every place and at all times in unison. The marks of the 

 fall, like springs of action, love, hate, and a common convic- 

 tion and hope of immortality hereafter, — held with more or less 

 clear assurance, — everywhere animate mankind. Read history, 

 hear tradition, ponder revelation, compare man with man, 

 woman with woman, child with child ; and travel the world 

 over in order to arrive at conclusions from an induction of 

 facts, and you must perceive this inward unity. Establish 

 this, and the outward must follow, for the body is only the 

 earth-made dwelling-place of the heaven-born soul. Dr Living- 

 stone's books add to the weight of these conclusions ; especially 

 since he confirms them, not by direct argument, but by un- 

 designed coincidence. Similar motives sway the untutored 

 African in connexion with public and private virtues and vices 

 as among ourselves. Many of their foibles are a mere reflex 

 of ours ; while some individuals among them display a gran- 

 deur of character difficult for us to surpass. Considering 

 Sekeletu's opportunities and circumstances, where can be found 

 a nobler man? 



Respecting the question of this unity as seen 

 or corporeal outwardly or materially, Dr Pritchard satisfac- 

 unity of man- torily states : " I have endeavoured to shew, 

 that no remarkable instance of variety in orga- 

 nization exists among human races to which a parallel may 

 not be found in many of the inferior tribes ; and, in the second 

 place, that all human races coincide in regard to many par- 

 ticulars, in which tribes of animals, when specifically distinct, 

 are always found to differ 1 ." 



He further shews this truth by the fact that the physical 

 characters of the human species in Africa are not unchange-
