in his anxiety todiscover an ancestor for while families, asked some Greek traveller, who repliedlaTTtroj. To ourselves, as anciently to the Egyptians, these families are white. We conclude in the language of DAvezac — Far from admitting that Genesis wished tomake all the ramifications of the great human family descend from the unique Noah, wewould voluntarily sustain the thesis, that the genesiacal writer only wished to designate thetnree great branches of white races, individualized for us in the three types Greek,Egyptian, and Syriac; whose respective traditions have preserved athwart ages, as anindelible testimony of the veracity of Moses (or, only of that of the unknown writer ofXth Genesis), the names of Japheth, of Ham, and of Shem: but, without entering digres-sionally into a question so vast, let us hasten to say that, to our eyes, the Biblical texts arevery disinterested upon any doubts arising from that (doubt) as to the unity or multiplicityof species in the human genus.

PACT*MRSAR trine dtAm ennm : GENEALOGICAL TABLEAU. 551 Section B. — Observations on the annexed Genealogical Tableauof the Sons of Noah. So far as the authors reading enables them to judge, here, for thefirst time since Xth Genesis was composed, are tabulated, in a truegenealogical form, all the ethnic and geographical names containedin that ancient document. After the foregoing analysis of each name under Section A., thereader requires no prolix remarks to perceive the utility of ourTableau; which, at a glance, exhibits Father NuKA (Noah), and histhree Sons — his Grandsons, Great-grandsons, Great-great-grandsons,Great-great-great-grandsons, and Great-great-great-great-grandsons, ac-cording to their natural order. In this manner (the geography ofthe Hebrew Text being, once for all, defined,) it is to be hoped thatscience will be relieved from further discussion of main principles,whatever may be the light which future Oriental researches cannotfail to shed upon details.
