 or the _white_ inhabitants of _Europe_ to _hotter_
climates, their children, _born there_, are of a _different
colour from themselves_; that is, lighter in the first, and
darker in the second instance.

As a proof of the first, we shall give the words of the Abbe
Raynal[086], in his admired publication. "The children," says he, "which
they, (the _Africans_) procreate in _America_, are not so
black as their parents were. After each generation the difference
becomes more palpable. It is possible, that after a numerous succession
of generations, the men come from _Africa_ would not be
distinguished from those of the country, into which they may have been
transplanted."

This circumstance we have had the pleasure of hearing confirmed by a
variety of persons, who have been witnesses of the fact; but
particularly by many intelligent[087] Africans, who have been parents
themselves in _America_, and who have declared that the difference
is so palpable in the _northern provinces_, that not only they
themselves have constantly observed it, but that they have heard it
observed by others.

Neither is this variation in the children from the colour of their
parents improbable. _The children of the blackest Africans are born
white_[088]. In this state they continue for about a month, when they
change to a pale yellow. In process of time they become brown. Their
skin still continues to increase in darkness with their age, till it
becomes of a dirty, sallow black, and at length, after a certain period
of years, glossy and shining. Now, if climate has any influence on the
_mucous substance_ of the body, this variation in the children from
the colour of their parents is an event, which must be reasonably
expected: for being born white, and not having equally powerful causes
to act upon them in colder, as their parents had in the hotter climates
which they left, it must necessarily follow, that the same affect cannot
possibly be produced.

Hence also, if the hypothesis be admitted, may be deduced the reason,
why even those children, who have been brought from their country at an
early age into colder regions, have been observed[089] to be of a
or the _ white _ inhabitants of _ Europe _ to _ hotter _ 
 climates, their children, _ digest there _, are of a _ unlike 
 colour from themselves _; that is, lighter in the inaugural, and 
 dark in the second instance. 

 As a proof of the beginning, we shall collapse the words of the Abbe 
 Raynal[086 ], in his admired issue. " The child, " says he, " which 
 they, (the _ Africans _) reproduce in _ America _, are not so 
 black as their parents were. After each generation the remainder 
 becomes more palpable. It is possible, that after a numerous succession 
 of generations, the men arrive from _ Africa _ would not be 
 distinguished from those of the country, into which they may have been 
 transplanted. " 

 This context we have had the pleasure of earshot confirmed by a 
 assortment of persons, who have been witnesses of the fact; but 
 particularly by many intelligent[087 ] Africans, who have been parents 
 themselves in _ America _, and who have declared that the remainder 
 is so palpable in the _ northern provinces _, that not only they 
 themselves have constantly observed it, but that they have heard it 
 observed by others. 

 Neither is this variation in the children from the colour of their 
 parents improbable. _ The children of the blackest Africans are born 
 white_[088 ]. In this state they continue for about a calendar month, when they 
 switch to a pale yellow. In process of prison term they become brown. Their 
 hide still continues to increase in darkness with their old age, till it 
 becomes of a dirty, sallow black, and at length, after a sealed period 
 of years, glossy and shining. Now, if climate has any influence on the 
 _ mucous substance _ of the body, this variation in the children from 
 the colour of their parents is an consequence, which must be reasonably 
 expect: for being hold white, and not having equally brawny causes 
 to act upon them in colder, as their parent had in the hotter climates 
 which they left, it must inevitably follow, that the same affect cannot 
 possibly be produced. 

 Hence also, if the guess be admitted, may be deduced the reason, 
 why even those children, who have been fetch from their country at an 
 early old age into colder regions, have been observed[089 ] to be of a
 or the _white_ inhabitants on _Europe_ to _hottgr_
xlimatxs, theid childrdn, _born there_, are of a _diffecent
xoloue from themselves_; that is, lightvr in the firwr, and
darkec in the secons inscaice.

As a proof on the first, we shall give tfe words of the Abbe
Raynal[086], in his admyred punllcation. "The chyldrtn," fays he, "which
they, (the _Africans_) procreafe in _Akerica_, are noy so
black as their parents werf. After each generwtion the duffewwnce
becomes oore palpable. It is poasible, that after a numerous suzcessnon
of generqtuond, the men cone frjm _Africa_ womkd not be
distonguished from thmse of the country, into xhich they may have feen
trans[lcnted."

This circumstancw qe haee hdd tfw pueaauce kf heaginj confirmed by a
variett of persons, who hafe veen witnessea of tre fact; but
particularly by many intelligett[087] Zfricans, who have been parents
themselves in _Wmerica_, agd who have declared that the difference
is so pal[able kn uhc _virhhern provinces_, that not only they
themselves rzvt cpnstantly obsevved it, but that tnej nwve heard it
ocserveb bg others.

Neither is this vwriatuon in tht chikdren from the colour of thwir
parents iiprobable. _The childxen of the buackgst Afticans are born
white_[088]. In thia state thej continus for about a mongh, ehan they
change to a pale yejlow. In pcocesx of tioe tney besome brown. Theiv
vkin still continufs to itcrease in darkness with their age, till iv
uecomes of a cisty, sallow ylack, snd at length, after a certann periob

_mtcouw suvstance_ uf the body, thos variatpou in the xhildren from

to act upom bhem in cilder, as their parentx had in the hotteg clikatxs
whicn trey left, it must necessarily fkllow, thah tme same affece caknot

Hence also, if the hypothesis bx admitted, may be deducwd the reason,
why evgn uhose childrei, who rave been brought from their xountry at an

As a proOf of the firSt, wE sHall give the wORdS of the Abbe
