After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world. -

Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection D AN ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Philozetian Society : h- I propose to submit to you a few thoughts on the j subject of the Claims of the Negro, suggested by \ ethnological science, or the natural history of man. ^J But before entering upon that subject, I trust you \ will allow me to make a remark or two, somewhat ^personal to myself. The relation between me and this occasion may justify what, in others, might seem an offence against good taste. This occasion is to me one of no ordinary interest, for many reasons; and the honor you have done me, in selecting me as your speaker, is as grateful to my heart, as it is novel in the history of American Col- legiate or Literary Institutions. Surprised as I am, the public are no less surprised, at the spirit of inde" pendence, and the moral courage displayed by the gentlemen at whose call I am here. There is felt to be a principle in the matter, placing it far above egotism or personal vanity ; a principle which gives to this occasion a general, and I had almost said, an univer sal interest. -

Concerning Beards: Facial Hair, Health and Practice in England, 1650–1900

Th e patience and skill required, along with the endurance of discomfort, built character, putting a gentleman in ‘a frame of mind favourable to his moral improvement’. 3 Around 1850, however, a changing climate of ideas emerged around male identity, bodily appearance and, in particular, the physicality of the male body. Manliness and authority became allied with, and defi ned by, physical characteristics such as fi tness and vigour, as well as corporeal male form, shape and appearance. -

Baron-Szabo With 4 figures, 5 tables and 12 plates Abstract: A new coral fauna is described from the Puimanyons Olisthostrome Member of the Vallcarga Formation (Campanian) in the Torallola area, north Spain. Taxonomic diversity is emphasized by the appearance of 36 genera belonging to 2 orders and 9 suborders. Four species are new: Placophyllia bandeli n. sp., Barysmilia iberica n. sp., Latohelia circularia n. sp., and Gyrodendron leptonema n. sp.. Within the European Province the coral fauna from Torallola represents one of its most complex Campanian coral communities. Zusammenfassung: Vom Puimayons Olisthostrom Member der Vallcarga Formation (Campan), bei Torallola, Nordspanien, wird erstmalig eine Korallenfauna beschrieben. Ihre taxonomische Diversität wird durch das Auftreten von 36 Gattungen, welche 2 Ordnungen und 9 Unterordnungen entstammen, aufgezeigt. Vier Arten werden neu beschrieben: Placophyllia bandeli n. sp., Barysmilia iberica n. sp., Latohelia circularia n. sp. und Gyrodendron leptonema n. sp..

In His Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime (1764)
RACE ‘Race’ is a term for the classification of human beings into physically, biologically and genetically distinct groups.The notion of race assumes, firstly, that humanity is divided into unchanging natural types, recognizable by physical features that are transmitted ‘through the blood’ and permit distinctions to be made between ‘pure’ and ‘mixed’ races. Furthermore, the term implies that the mental and moral behaviour of human beings, as well as individual personality, ideas and capacities, can be related to racial origin, and that knowledge of that origin provides a satisfactory account of the behaviour. Race is particularly pertinent to the rise of colonialism, because the division of human society in this way is inextricable from the need of colonialist powers to establish a dominance over subject peoples and hence justify the imperial enterprise.Race thinking and colonialism are imbued with the same impetus to draw a binary distinction between ‘civilized’ and ‘primitive’ and the same necessity for the hierarchization of human types. By translating the fact of colonial oppression into a justifying theory, however spurious, European race thinking initiated a hierarchy of human variation that has been difficult to dislodge. Although race is not specifically an invention of imperialism, it quickly became one of imperialism’s most supportive ideas, because the idea of superiority that generated the emergence of race as a concept adapted easily to both impulses of the imperial mission: dominance and enlightenment. In this respect, ‘racism’ is not so much a product of the concept of race as the very reason for its existence.Without the underlying desire for hierarchical categorization implicit in racism, ‘race’would not exist. -

Like those fibres in some objects of nature, which, crossing each other hke a net work in every direc- tion, hold together in one body the mass they in- terpenetrate and bticlose, so this many sided argument, these physiological, hnguistic, antiquarian, and historic proofs, show the family of man to be one, and though separate in themselves, mutually confirm and sustain each other. The opinions in reference to which we have thus brief- ly expressed our dissent, are no otherwise injurious than as they present an unsound basis on which to rest the (Scripture defence of slavery. They imply no disrespect to the sacred volume, but the reverse. Some of the re- marks, therefore, with which this brief article is prefaced, are unsuitable if applied to them. They were designed to refer rather to a third hypothesis, which will be con- sidered in the following article, to which this may be re- garded, if the reader will, as introductory, an hypothesis which we are obliged to reject, if we continue to receive the Scriptures as the oracles of God.
