Excerpt from The Unity of the Human Races, Proved to Be the Doctrine of Scripture, Reason, and Science: With a Review of the Present Position and Theory of Professor Agassiz There is certainly, as has been said, no subject of science of deeper interest than that which regards the natural history and origi nal condition of man. Even were the question it involves less re markable and less important in regard to the present and future con dition of the species, the methods of argument and sources of evidence are such as may well engage and engross every scientific inquirer. The evidence is drawn from all parts of creation - from the mind, as well as from the bodily conformation of man himself. The argument is one of probability, always tending to greater cer tainty, though it may be incapable of ever reaching that which is commets. But this is a method of reasoning well understood to be compatible with the highest philosophy, and peculiarly consonant to our present faculties and position in the universe; and if in this ocean of disquisition fogs have been often mistaken for land, as in so many other regions of science, we may at least amt-m, that the charts are more correctly laid down than ever before; the be ings better ascertained; and that our reason can hardly be ship wrecked, on this great argument, if common caution be observed in the course we pursue.
