Ethnological And Philological Essays PDF Download

In the same chapter he says Perhaps this race of copper-coloured men, comprehended under the general name of American Indians, is a mixture of Asiatic tribes, and the aborigines of this vast continent as if the two races were essentially distinct from each other, and as if the copper coloured men, comprehended under the general name of Ame rican Indians, with all their mixtures, could not all of them have been only different migrations of Asiatic tribes, earlier or later arrived on the new continent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
