Antique Book on Theological Anthropology titled; "Adamites and Preadamites: or A Popular Discussion concerning The Remote Representatives of the Human Species and their Relation to the Biblical Adam" by Alexander Winchell, LL.D. (Originally published in the Northern Christian Advocate.) Printed by John T. Roberts of Syracuse, N.Y. in 1878. Winchell attempts to break some races apart as "PreAdamite". One passage partly reads; "The anatomical sturcture of the Negro is inferior. The lean shanks, the prognathous profile, the long arms (which do not always exist), the black skin, the elongated and oblique pelvis-these are all characteristics in which, so far as the Negro diverges from teh White man, he approximates the African apes." The author then proceeds to build a case for inferior skull structure in Negroes resulting in smaller brains.....(and you can conjecture where it goes from there). Brief online research finds no 1878 copies available for sale. Book contains 52 printed pages and is about 5-5/8" x 8-7/8". Appears to be the first edition in book form. paper covers. Condition: missing back cover. pages have soiling and staining, edge wear and edge tears. occasional period ink manuscript writing. cover and title page have chipped bottom right corner as seen in scans.
