[245] Barton, Report of the Sanitary Commission of New Orleans for 1853, p. 248, New Orleans, 1854 (see Hirsch, Handbuch, etc., § 35). He brings forward several pieces of evidence in the same question. They seem to us too decisive, in a polygenist point of view, for us not to give the entire list of his quotations: Romay, Diss. sobre la Fiebre Amarilla, etc., Habana, 1797: Arnold, Treatise on the Bilious Remittent Fever, etc., p. 26, London, 1840: Zimpel, Jenaische Annalen für Med., i, p. 68: Dickinson, Observations on the Inflammatory Endemic incident to Strangers in the West Indies, etc., p. 13, London, 1819: Ferguson, Notes and Reflections, p. 150, London, 1846: Dickson, Philadelphia Med. and Phys. Journal, iii, p. 250: Lallemand, Das Gelbfieber, etc., p. 121. [Schomburgk, A Description of British Guiana, etc., p. 22, London, 1840.—Editor.]
[246] Words borrowed from the definition of species by Isidore Geoffroy, Histoire Naturelle Générale, vol. ii, p. 437. “The act which appears most natural to living beings who are perfect, and who are not abortive, nor produced by spontaneous generation, is the production of a being like themselves, the animal producing an animal, the plant a plant, so as to participate in the eternal and divine nature as much as they can.”—De l’âme, book ii, chap. iv, § 2, transl. by Barthélemy Saint-Hilaire.
