The next general observation relativeto the emplacement of the Black race isthe comparative unimpor- comparative un-tance of the countries oc- j^Se?cupied thereby. Of these of the Blacks,the greatest potency is doubtlessly inEquatorial Africa. That part of theworld, however, has thus far remainedunreclaimed by civilization, althoughNorthern and Northeastern Africa havebeen the seats of some of the oldest,most famous, and most important, aswell as the most highly civilized, nationsof the ancient world. After Africa, Australia is by far themost important of the countries havingan original population of Blacks. Whileit would not be proper to depreciateAustralia as a seat of civilization, itmust nevertheless be admitted that alarge part of that island-continent is un-reclaimable, and that the whole of it isso greatly divided by broad oceans fromthe continental parts of the world as toplace the country at a great disadvan-tage in the competition for 610 GREAT RACES OF MANKIND.
