Sayfa 585 - Il faut, parmi les tribus des descendants d'Ismaël, des maîtres, des serviteurs, des animaux domestiques, une liberté soumise à des lois. Chez les hordes américaines, l'homme est encore tout seul avec sa fière et cruelle indépendance: au lieu de la couverture de laine, il a la peau d'ours; au lieu de la lance, la flèche; au lieu du poignard, la massue; il ne...
Sayfa 191 - ... should be wide, her limbs tapering, the soles of her feet without any hollow, and the surface of her body in general soft, delicate, smooth, and rounded, without the asperities of projecting bones and sinews.
Sayfa 190 - Her hair should be voluminous, like the tail of a peacock; long, reaching to the knees, and terminating in graceful curls ; her eyebrows should resemble the rainbow; her eyes, the blue sapphire and the petals of the blue manilla-flower. Her nose should be like the bill of the hawk; her lips should be bright and red, like coral on the young leaf of the iron-tree. Her teeth should be small, regular, and closely set, and like jessamine buds.
Sayfa 595 - The family residing here in charge of the sanctuary, were remarkable for having, with the exception of the father only, Negro features, a deep black color, and crisped hair. My own opinion was, that this must have been occasioned by their being born of a negress mother, as such persons are sometimes found among the Arabs in the relation of wives or concubines ; but while I could entertain no doubt, from my own observation, that the present head of the family was a pure Arab of unmixed blood, I was...
Sayfa 528 - The glabellum is flat and unusually large. The eyes are in general small. The aperture of the eye-lids, moderately linear in the Indo-Chinese nations and Malays, is acutely so in the Chinese, bending upward at its exterior termination. The lower jaw is long, and remarkably full under the zygoma, so as to give to the countenance a square appearance. The nose is rather small than flat, the...
Sayfa 291 - ... remarkable revolutions in the history of the world. There is every reason to believe that swarms of these nations made their way into distant parts of the earth, at periods long before the date of the Scythian invasion of Asia, which is the earliest inroad of the nomadic race that history records. The first, as far as we can conjecture, in respect to the time of their descent were the Finnish and Ugrian tribes, who appear to have come down from the Altaic border of High A.sia towards the north-west,...
Sayfa 545 - ... the organic structure, subservient to the mental faculties, than that which is found in other branches of the human family. It is certain that the intellectual powers of the Syro-Arabian people have, in all ages, equalled the highest standard of the human faculties." (Vol. iv. p. 548.) And again : " It is remarkable that the three great systems of theism which have divided the civilised world, came forth from nations of Shemite origin, among whom arose the priests or prophets of all those nations,...
Sayfa 235 - Brahmins are sometimes black, while Pariahs are comparatively fair. It seems, therefore, to be an accidental difference, like that of light and dark complexions in Europe, though where so much of the body is exposed to sight, it becomes more striking here than in our own country.
Sayfa 235 - The great difference in colour between different natives struck me much : of the crowd by whom we were surrounded, some were black as negroes, others merely copper-coloured, and others little darker than the Tunisines whom I have seen at Liverpool. Mr. Mill, the principal of Bishop's College, who, with Mr.
Sayfa 124 - Sooryfi-Siddhantfi ; but that of the muha, or greater yoogfi, is sufficiently evident, as being an anomalistic period of the sun and moon, at the end of which the latter, with her apogee and ascending node, is found, together with the sun, in the first of Aries; the planets also deviating from that point only as much as is their latitude and the difference between their mean and true anomaly.
