Страница 49 - The same is the case in the West Indies. Long, in his history of Jamaica, expressly affirms ' that the children born in England have not, in general, lovelier or more transparent skins than the offspring of white parents in Jamaica.' But it may be urged that this is not the case with respect to the other nations of the Caucasian variety, who have been settled in warm climates from time immemorial, and that the question ought to be decided by the Moors, Arabians, &c.
