Excerpt from A New and Accurate System of Natural History, Vol. 1 of 6 The multitude of Nature's produelions however feems at firlt to bewilder the inquirer, rather than excite his attention; the various wonders of the 1771' ma], Vegetable, or jl/iineral world feem to exceed all. Powers of computation, and the fcience appearsbar ren from it's amazing fertility. But a nearer ac quaintance with this fiudy, by giving method to our refearches, points outa fimilitude in many objeets which at firft appeared difi'erent; the mind by de grees rifes to confider the things before it in general lights, till at length it finds nature in almoft every inflance aeting with her ufual fimplicity.

The African Link
Author: Anthony J. BarkerPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000647560
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The African Link, first published in 1978, breaks new ground in the studies of pre-19th century racial prejudice by emphasizing the importance of the West African end of the slave trade. For the British, the important African link was the commercial one which brought slave traders into contact with the peoples of West Africa. Far from remaining covert, their experiences were reflected in a vast array of scholarly, educational, popular and polemical writing. The picture of Black Africa that emerges from these writings is scarcely favourable – yet through the hostility of traders and moralising editors appear glimpses of respect and admiration for African humanity, skills and artefacts. The crudest generalisations about Black Africa are revealed as the inventions of credulous medieval geographers and of the late 18th century pro-slavery lobby. The author combines the more matter-of-fact reports of the intervening centuries with analysis of 17th and 18th century social and scientific theories to fill a considerable gap in the history of racial attitudes.
