- Notes
- Lawry reflects on the whereabouts of the Ten Tribes and a possibility of survivals of ancient Jewish customs among the Pacific Islanders: "These people are Oriental, as most men think, but they seem to have descended from different branches of Noah’s family; and the difficulty of accounting for the Negro race mixed up with the Asiatic, and Jewish rites with pagan customs, has been the puzzle in this inquiry" (p. 252).
