unvarying' character. Secondly, that mankind, however they
vary in different, ages .and countries in respect to acquired
habits and the arts of life, are yet subjected not less than
the inferior tribes to the influence of certain impulses or active
tendencies, which, like the instincts of animals, are conf
stant and invariable. Thirdly,,I attempted to prove, by a survey
of some phenomena illustrative of the. psychical character
of some of the most dissimilar human races, that they all
have common affections, sympathies, and are subjected to
precisely analogous laws of feeling and action, and partake
in short of a common psychical nature, and are therefore
proved, with the same degree of evidence which has been obtained
from the general observation above laid down, to belong
to ohoepecies or lineage. Probable evidence from its nature
admits of accumulation ; and perhaps i t will be allowed that
^considerable mass of evidence- has thus been collected in
support of one and the same conclusion with respect the
tribes of mankind.
