These statements of population, considered 

 in their relations with the differences of race, 

 languages, and worship, are composed of very 

 variable elements, and represent approxima-

 of this kind, we can take into consideration 

 only great masses ; the partial estimates may in 

 time acquire more rigorous precision. The 

 language of cyphers, the Sole hieroglyphics 

 which have been preserved among the signs of 

 thought, stands in no need of interpretation. 

 There is something serious and prophetic in 

 these inventories of the human race : in them 

 the whole future destiny of the New World 

 seems to be inscribed.
