It appears that there are 
men of every color, except blue 
and green! such as, 1 Milk 
white, 2 Pale white, 3 Florid 
white or Rosy, 4 Bedish, 5 
Red, 6 Tawny, 7 Brown, 
8 Brownish, 9 Yellowish, 10 
Olivaceous, 11 Coppery, 12 
Grey, 13 Ashy, 14 Coffee and 
milk, 15 Rusty, 16 Sooty, 17 
Chocolate, 18 Black, 19 Ebo- 
ny, 20 Spotted, &c. 
All these colors and hues are 
found in America as well as in 
Africa, Asia, Polynesia, and 
even Europe. They are no 
2 'Wi - 
wise permanent, but are liable 
to vary, fade, blacker or dark- 
en, disappear and reappear! 
Thus facts and experience 
evince how idle have been the 
systems and disputes on these 
colors and on Negroes. It is 
now doubtful even what is a 
Negro! Since there are presu- 
med Negroes of all colors and 
hues, with wooly or long and 
silky hair, ugly and handsome 
features, &c. 
The size of mankind varies 
from 2 feet in dwarfs to 8 feet 
in giants, the usual size from 
4i to 6 feet. 
The features and limbs vary 
every where, even in the same 
families. Soipe white men 
have thick lips and flat noses, 
while some black men have 
sharp noses and thin lips. 
The color of the hair is of 
all colors except blue and 
green; as the skin, it varies in 
the same families, as well as 
the texture silky, lank, wavy, 
curly, frizzled, spiral, wooly, 
lumpish, &c. 
The eyes are of all colors, 
not even excepting blue and 
green. I have seen a family 
where seven colors were found; 
blue, green, grey, brown, ha- 
zel, black, and mixt. 
Let us learn to pause before 
we form opinions out of a few 
facts. Truth can only be de- 
tected by extensive observa- 
tions. Respecting mankind 
the result of those made all 
over the world demonstrate 
that man is a variable being, 
like every other, and subject 
to the ETERNAL DIVINE LAW
