Not illustrated. 1844 edition. Excerpt: ... LECTURE 1. Before entering upon the Natural History of the human .race, it is indispensably necessary, as a prelimenary step, to examine some points in chronology, and to take a glance at the early history of Egypt. I must show that the Caucasian or White, and the Negro races were distinct at a very remote yldate, and that the Egyptians were Caucasians.

Some may be surprised to learn that there are, besides that of Bishop Usher, more than 300 computations for the creation and deluge--these computations too are made by learned divines, and differ at least 1500 years. I will cite a few only of the most prominent, as lam desirous of avoiding prolixity. Creation. Deluge. Exodus. Septuagint, 5586 B. C 3246 B. C. Josephus, 1648 B. C.
