In describing “The Negro in General,” Ratzel writes: “The specific, but hardly definable negro smell is certainly possessed by all, in varying degrees. Falkenstein refers it to the somewhat more oily composition of the sweat, which with uncleanly habits easily develops rancid acids.”—“History of Mankind” (Trans. from 2d German ed. by A. J. Butler, 1897), II, 315; see also II, 266, 301.

The following passage is found in “The Selling of Joseph,” by Chief-Justice Samuel Sewall, printed in Boston, June 12, 1700, the first printed protest against slaveholding in Massachusetts: “and there is such a disparity in their Conditions, Colour & Hair, that they can never embody with us, and grow up in orderly Families, to the Peopling of the Land: but still remain in our Body Politick as a kind of extravasat Blood.”—See “Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society” for October, 1863 (Vol. 1863–64, p. 161). Footnote 235: William Wells Brown makes this statement in his book, “The Negro in the Rebellion,” pp. 361–362. Footnote 236: Compare the manifestation of race prejudice in South Africa, in Australia, and in the Philippines. See article “The Negro Problem in South Africa,” by Arthur Hawkes, _Review of Reviews_, September, 1903 (28: 325), and the editorial comments on pp. 264–265 of the same issue.

Williams: “History of the Negro Race in America” (1883), II, 72. Footnote 238: Evidence for this statement has been presented above. See Chapter IV. Footnote 239: _Outlook_, Dec. 26, 1903 (75: 984).

See, for example, article by Thomas Nelson Page in _The North American Review_, January, 1904 (178: 33). Footnote 243: From a study of the prison statistics furnished by the United States census, Professor Walter F.
