(Read at Meetings of Society in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and Aberdeen, May 1891.) BY ARMINIUS VAMBÉRY, Hon. Corr. Member, Royal Scottish Geographical Society. I MUST begin by asking your indulgence for introducing before this Geographical Society-which, in spite of its youth, has already deservedly gained a name and a reputation-a subject of purely ethnographical, or, properly speaking, of ethical significance. Geography and ethnography are very closely related to one another, and if, as has been so often asserted, every Briton should regard Geography as a national study, I venture to assert that a similar position might be ascribed to ethnography. Assuming that every citizen of this country is entitled to look upon our Earth as upon his greater home, we may reasonably conclude that every Briton should consider every man, irrespective of colour, creed, and race, as a fellow-citizen, whose welfare and ethical development have been intrusted to him by Providence. But by concerning ourselves with others, we require to gain accurate knowledge of their individual characteristics, their physical and moral relationships, as well as their inclinations and aversions for it is only in this manner and through these channels that we can hope to convey our ideal, which we deem superior to their own. It is, moreover, only in this way that we may, possibly, succeed in raising our fellow-men from the dust of slavery and of saving them from abject darkness. If, therefore, the accurate knowledge of mankind in different climes be taken as an unavoidable postulate of successful civilising influence, we cannot lose sight of the power and aptitude of the people we wish to befriend. We require to examine and to know the ways and means, the VOL. VII. X |
