Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Impress of Nationalities Upon the City of New York: A Paper Read Before the New York Historical Society Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Historical Society: There is no more interesting branch of sociological research than the formation of national character. It is proposed to review such formation as applicable to our ancient city. New York was termed ancient, in the Dongan charter of 1686; and the Batavian, the Anglo-Saxon, the Celt, the Teuton, the Gaul, and even the sons of Ham and Shem, have been factors, in various degrees, in forming its civic character. It began its life when man was bloodthirsty, when natural rights were little respected, when religion was intolerant, when science was in its cradle, when tyranny made the laws: and, when Civilization herself, still inhumane, enforced her progress by the sword. Principles of Colonization. To the nervous energy of races, under various conditions, is due the exodus that - spreading from Central Asia, the cradle of man - has, in progressive migrations, populated the globe. The theory of a number of primordial "autochthones" (or polygenism) is not substantiated by either tradition or science. Migrations and crossings, and the effects of new latitudes and conditions have produced, in time, the varied races of a single species. Mixed races cease in time to be mere hybrids, and when, in a few generations, the new conditions have completed their influence the new race is formed, with distinctive physical, mental, and even moral features.
