Natural history; Natural theology; Sciences naturelles; Théologie naturelle. m 682 ,1. low in moral power, high in its animal and in- stinctive or automatic capabilities. The unlet- tered Australian sighs not for knowledge, his heart quickens not its pulse at the touch of one generous emotion, or at the sight of human woe. The Afri- can, dead to all high and lofty sense of morality, dwelling amidst scenes of brute violence, familiar- ised from infancy to manhood with the roarinj? of beasts of prey, and on the defence against them, becomes imbued with their savage nature, and has his own fashioned on a plan scarcely removed from theirs. The European and the Asiatic, under the influence of the true and a false religion, and sur- rounded by better external circumstances, have deve- loped the faculties of the mind in their due propot tion; and the former, superior in the exercise of a lofty reason, and governed by the higher faculties of the soul, wins the inheritance of the more brutalised man. The birth of every nation under heaven is lost in the night of the past. Egypt sprang (so far as we can discover) into existence a race of intellectual giants, and claims to be born of gods and demi-gods. Mr. Grote says of Glreece : "The mythical world of the Grreeks opens with the gods, anterior as well as superior to man : it gradually descends, first to heroes, and next to the human race ;" and the dam of Rome is still hidden in mist. It is quiii true that we do find the primitive races still living mem- bers of the family of men ; but are they not yet.
