Notes
Directing his attention to the races of mankind, Taylor writes, "The physical peculiarities of the Persian, the Jew and the Ethiopian are therein as distinctly marked as at the present day. The blacks are perfect counterparts of those I saw daily upon the Nile, and the noses of the Jews seem newly painted from originals in New York" (10th ed., p. 118). Frequently reissued.
