r. Rnrhaiau and fir. Browne of
Pliiiadclpfiin,
JTr. Editor. Having read an abstract of
c remarks of Mr. Browne, of Philadelphia, here
the Slate Agricultural Society, at Columbia
at will. 1 son stnv allow mc tin* privilege of a
w lines in your columns.
Mr. Browne has long Miiee ptUpished his mode
designating the species of in n and animals
a miero-ci'pie examination of tins hair. By
is process, Ijc Inn, as he supposes, discovered
at there are scleral species of men a*Well as
Vend species III each of the doinvtienled utti
uls thai hive Iri'hcrlo been ogardnd as
ridic*. lie o?uld Scarcely have supposed
at all ualuralists would have receivi d Ins
ctrines with implicit faith witln/Ut a careful
NeStigalion on their part.
A.. \lr It.I,?c \.\<
ti.ms that our Southern country is well ici.-ip
.1 to the raisin/ of tine wooled animals, I litliy
in'with him, and have frequently published
\ views to that etii t t. it -Jm had ooli filed
in-u'lt- to tin' legitimate subject* that h.-lnn/
an n/iiculiural in vting ? the tv nriti / <-t direp
i| <ji#at?i luvltiJi'il ? I would have been tlsv
st to have disturbed him in iii-* hair tlrem-v.
c has, however, Hnn/jfiil in another mibject
nm-fted with the ln>|y record of iii?j ired truth
at is d'nr to every christian heart.- I
arcely that there are millim..* tn
r Southern country, who would infinitelvllier
jyive tip nil their sleep and /oats than
andoti the scriptures as the inspired word ??f
'd.
As this suhject has I concent*, unnecessarily
d unwarrantably been intituled into an a?/ri.
Iturai meet in/, where it does riot leuitiiuatel\ \
Ion/. I.will endeavor, Providence permiltin/, 1
inv leisure, to prepare a paper to show the
Kr fallacy of the views of Mr. Browne in the
si/nation of any species h\ nil examination of
j hair. I will prove.
1. That hair is so variable in the various
ireds of animals ?and in individuals of tli"
it?e vatiet\ ? that anion/ naturalst*. it lia.?
Vi-r a elnracier by which species niu l?o d'--. j
sated.
2. That the examinations of Mr. Browne in
l-ience to the hair of the variou- rats-s of men
lieu the errors, into which he has inadvertenfallen
are eorreeteil) will estaMi-li the coniry
d'H'irine, and afford another stioti/eviileii
the unity of \hc huiuanwrr.
3. That before tit! hud an opjiurtunitv ?'l |
ing the different species of goats lie refers to, '
examined the hair *?!' each, irtul decided that
?y_wore distinct species. That in d"inir this
mistook crosses for species. ?fcc.?which can
iiicontcstihly proved by hi-- own liniid writr?and
thus proving tin* utter worthlcssucss j
his whole theory as applied either to man, or
domesticated animals.
The daily newspapers nro not the vehicles in
licit this subject should he discussed. I have
ipiontly expressed my views on this subject,
icntilic journals present tie* proper medium:
such discussions 1 shall not therefore, en- j
into anv newspaper controversy even in a
iglc line.
